( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Could it be that you are looking for Win32::Process? With that you can launch your command and specify $ProcessObj->Wait($timeout) which

    Wait for the process to die. $timeout should be specified in milliseconds. To wait forever, specify the constant INFINITE.
then to kill the process you could do something like $ProcessObj->Kill( $exitcode ) which
    Kill the associated process, have it terminate with exit code $ExitCode.
Update:
#! /usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Win32::Process; ###################################################################### +################## #MiscVariables my ($VERSION, $ProcessObj); ###################################################################### +################## $VERSION = "1.0.0"; Win32::Process::Create($ProcessObj, "$ENV{'SystemRoot'}/notepad.exe", "notepad test.txt", 0, # Don't inherit. NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, ".") or die "Cannot Launch Anything\n"; if ($ProcessObj->Wait (10*1000)){ # execution of the process is successfully. $ProcessObj->Kill(0); print "Successful\n"; } else { # process has hung up for some reason print "The Process Hung - Killing it\n"; $ProcessObj->Kill(255); }

Update2: I seem to have gone down the wrong track.. :(

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
