Thanks Bob; but I was hoping to do this in LiveCode.

e.g. is there a way to invoke a shell command to run asynchronously, returning the PID to LiveCode so that it can be monitored?

Hello hive mind,

Is there a way from LiveCode to invoke a shell command with a time limit, to 
force it to fail after a certain time? (This is on Windows.)

many thanks,

Ben
