How to start a command on the second display at a particular position

How to start a command on the second display at a particular position

I have a dual screen setup in Windows XP. I have several log file traces that I want to start up and have them positioned in a particular layout on the second screen. Is there a tool that allows me to start a command shell in a certain location? Or a tool that can be run from the command line to reposition a window that I can run in batch?

"You should be able to start a program at a fixed position in a batch file using CMDOW.

Cmdow is a Win32 commandline utility
for NT4/2000/XP/2003 that allows
windows to be listed, moved, resized,
renamed, hidden/unhidden,
disabled/enabled, minimized,
maximized, restored,
activated/inactivated, closed, killed
and more.

Check the /MOV option:

/MOV Moves the specified window. The
left and top arguments specify the new
position of the left top corner of the
window. For level one windows this
relative to the desktop, and for child
windows this is relative to its parent
window. Level one windows can be moved
off the screen using negative coords
or coords greater than the desktop
size. You should not move a minimized
or maximized window without first
restoring it.."
