Hey Peter, My MUA believes you used Sylpheed version 0.8.10claws72 (GTK+ 1.2.10; i386-debian-linux-gnu) to write the following on Monday, March 17, 2003 at 7:44:28 AM.
PP> should only return when the exit was sent to the proc...ess ... *geee* I PP> see!!! this second instance you're starting (if there already is a PP> thebat.exe process running) recognizes the first one, sends it an 'exit' PP> signal and terminates itself immediately, while the first instance is PP> still shutting down and e.g. compressing or whatever needs to be done PP> ... *hmmm* LOL, now you see my problem... :-) PP> I guess you're out of luck on Windows, unless you find a program PP> that allows you to check on command line or via return code the PP> existance of a process, like 'ps' does. Than you could write a small PP> loop that waits until termination has taken effect. Anyone else know of something? I guess I will stick with a pause command because TB takes a different amount of time to shutdown depending on the message base state... PP> But don't ask me for such a tool :-) Every time I was in the need for PP> "controling my OS" I took Linux *eg* :-))) It *would* be nice to have a choice of OS, but I am on my company's notebook, and they have standards (Linux is one, but it doesn't have all the things I need yet, and my current client runs only MS...). -- Tim Musson Flying with The Bat! eMail v1.62 Christmas Edition Windows 2000 5.0.2195 (Service Pack 2) Always remember to pillage BEFORE you burn. ________________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBTECH" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
