B4J Question B4j exe file created work in background

[mauriegio]

Hello at all,

when i create exe file with B4j create package standalone, when i run it
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.

How i can do it ?

Thank you very much
Maurizio

the question is how i can lunch the app and wait the finish work!!!

Create a NON-UI App. Wait for it to finish from the commandline. See google for help on how to wait for an app.

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

I attach the source main if can help .
thank you

You just want to create a Report.xlsx, and write a ok to finito.opn then exit app.
I wonder why you would like to lanuch it from cmd prompt. and you will do what after the file is created?

i need to call from a php exec command but i need to wait the xlsx created for download when finish
opn was a test to wait from php but not working well.

thanks

without searching it... a lot... did you try moving this line:

    File.WriteString(File.DirApp,"finito" & Utente & ".opn","OK")

into sub: CreaFileExcelXTglNico

...because you are waiting for it...
also after wait for CreaFileExcelXTglNico

add a SLEEP(3000) '(3secs) to be sure that file closed...

It's useless, beacuse php exec UI-app it will return immediatly.

Try calling run_debug.bat from PHP, or compiling it to non-ui jar and using java running it

first thought was for command prompt...

..but the writestring would be better into a sub... that already waiting for...

php exec command (or similar) to not wait for result

I have a command I want to run, but I do not want PHP to sit and wait for the result. <?php echo "Starting Script"; exec('run_baby_run'); echo "Thanks, Script is running in background"; ?> ...
