Shell script problem
« on: January 28, 2004, 03:12:01 PM »
Hi all..

I need a bit of help with the script i'm writing. It doesn't do much, simply executes a file which then holds the process until the program finishes. The thing is, i need this program to be executed within another program, which means that the parent program is held up until the program it launches quits. However, the fact that the parent program is held up causes major problems.

So...what i'm trying to do is get the parent program to launch the other program without it effect its own operation. Is there a "new process" command or a way of doing this?

Hope this makes sense, didn't explain it very well!
