Hey ho folks.
Situation is this: I have a perl script that installs a bunch of apps
(it's part of our new pc setup procedure). Most are capable of doing
silent installs, some can't. Those which can't we have scripted. Those
that can, I'd like to do silently (strangely enough :-) ).
The problem I have is when finding when a silent install is finished, in
particular because most of them run up, extract themselves, and then run
something else to do the actuall install, often a temp file executable
like ac323523._MP and the like. As a result, if I monitor the initial
process, it tells me the install is done, because the process has
terminated, well before it actually finishes, because its the child
process that does the work.
How can I tell if the child process is still running?
OS is NT 4/SP[3-6].
Ta.
