Re: finding process and waiting for it to end

Hello,

s> I am working on a jscript that launches a process (proc1).
s> Proc1 launches a secondary process (proc2) and then exits.
s> I want my script to launch proc1 and then find the process associated
s> with proc2.  So far I am doing this.

Is the secondary process a script also?

I would suggest using the JScript.NET version, if possible — there are special built-in objects for launching external processes and waiting for their termination. Nowdays it's more useful for system utilities than JS.

Why, there are the same objects in the pre-NET version of JS, something like Scripting.Shell (WScript.Shell) or Wscript object … but it's far less convenient.
