I need to write a script that runs a series of Windows commands, and I have to
wait while each performs its functions, then go on to the next command.
I know almost nothing about Windows, and I can't test it because I don't have a
Windows box. I read up a bit and it looks to me that something like this should
work:
system 'C:\Documents and Settings\bill>sc stop nexus-webapp';
system 'C:\Documents and Settings\ bill >sc start nexus-webapp';
system 'C:\Documents and Settings\ bill >sc query nexus-webapp';
Does that look right? Or do I need to do something more like this example:
use POSIX ":sys_wait_h";
do {
system 'C:\Documents and Settings\bill>sc stop nexus-webapp';
$kid = waitpid(-1, WNOHANG);
} while $kid > 0;
(source: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/waitpid.html)
Or am I not even close with either?
Thanks,
Bill
