Need a good open process sample

2002-10-06 Thread Simon Lord

My original post doesn't seem to have made it to the list.  So here it 
is again.

 I can never get this command straight.  Anyone have a straight forward 
 example of metacard using open process to launch a process via the 
 shell.  I'm going nuts running put shell() and having mc wait around 
 until the process is completed.  This would help a lot.  Thanks.

 Sincerely,
 Simon

Hmm, has it always been that easy?  I remember having real problems 
with this a few years ago on the SGI.  It was a real pain to get it to 
do anything.  And these samples are much more straightforward than I 
remember.

But, that said.  Thanks Andu.
