Wait For Process to Finish

[Jordan S]

I have written a small Console application that executes the following line,
amongst other things:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(currentWorkingDirectory +
@"\backup_files.cmd");

My Console app is NOT waiting for the execution of backup_files.cmd to
finish.

How can I cause my console app to wait for backup_files.cmd to finish before
proceeding?

Thanks!

while(!p.HasExited)

Console.WriteLine("Waiting...");

You can use p.WaitForExit();

using(Process p = Process.Start(path))
{
while(!p.HasExited)
{
Console.WriteLine("Waiting...");
Thread.Sleep(5000);
}
}
