Hello at all,

from a command prompt exit immediatly and continue work in background,
but i need to wait until finish, because it must create a file and after i need
to elaborate it.

Thank you very much

There is a run_debug.bat, you can run it and read log.

Do you use resumable subs?
Maybe this link might help: resumable subs with return values

How do you run it from a command prompt exit immediatly?
You meant that in cmd window? you run it then exit the cmd window?

How does it continue working in background? do you run it as a service? or your.exe && exit?

1.Is your exe a non-ui app?
2.What is run it and exit immediatly? do you describle how to do ?
3. How do you know it is working in backgroud?
4.Do you add log to your app for debugging?

Magma · Nov 18, 2022

...can i add a question...?

is your app into a batch file, it runs before a process and then another one start immediately ?

then you need to wait for the app to finish from commandline. if the exitcode is 0 then you can continue to work. if not then check the error-code.

Hard to help more based on the spare infos you provided.

As I said at post#2, there is a run_debug.bat in the folder, you can edit it. after your app is done, continue to execute the command you specified.

...are you calling from your app any other "app", "program" that creates that "file" ?

if "yes" you must wait this app end.. and then end your app... i can't think anything more... the info you shared is limited as DonManfred said.

Does your app exit after it finished work?
Is it another app handle the file your app created?
