Oh cool. Yep, that could be easily used as an indication that the launched
process has completed. That or ps would both work on mac or linux.
so something like
launch "/usr/bin/myprocess"
then a loop that does a shell('ps") then parse the output to make see if
the process is still active.
so
put shell("ps") into tShell
filter tShell with "*myprocess*"
at which point if the number of lines in tShell > 0 its not done yet.
