Hi:

I want to use skill to invoke "calibre " command  and want to display the "running process" on unix terminal or new window like assura running process.

 I only find ipcWaitProess and ipcReadProcess, but these command only can get result.

I want users know that calibre is running when he invoked skill gui button.

I aslo want virtuoso can still work, not occupy by calibre .

thanks

    Hi Tom,

    Not sure if it is a copy-paste problem, but your first procedure "TEST" is not complete, the prog and procedure both need a close parenthesis. You can use ipcIsAliveProcess() to query the child process id and see if it is still running.  You can use ipcWriteProcess() if anything needs to be sent to the child process. For these you will need the child handle, so don't declare it in the prog local variables (but you can add run_command to the list).

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
