A method, apparatus, and computer program product for synchronously starting programs on multiple devices connected to a server is provided. A synchronous point of a program to be synchronously started for each of the multiple devices is identified. A wait function is dynamically injected into the synchronous point for each of the multiple devices. A start time from the server is received in response to the multiple devices entering a waiting state. The programs are synchronously started in response to the start time arriving for each of the multiple devices.
