non-blocking axlRunBatchDBProgram call

Ejlersen

Hi

I've created a skill program with a gui that needs to run an external program using axlRunBatchDBProgram.

However when I do this it blocks Allegro and the skill gui.

Is there a way around this?

Best regards

Ole

    I believe there are 2 ways you can try:

    •  use the Skill system call to run a bat file that runs your program via a .bat nowait call. You should google "cmd nowait" to see how this works
    • use the axlShell function to execute the Allegro "run" command. Example
    axlShell("run -b  <your command>")

    where the -b option tells the run command to execute your job and return without waiting for it to finish

    if your command is a bat file you will also need to use the "-s" option
