How to properly wait for foreground/background processes in my own shell in C?
In this previous question I posted most of my own shell code. My next step is to implement foreground and background process execution and properly wait for them to terminate so they don't stay as "zombies". Before adding the possibility to run them in the background, all processes were running in the foreground. And for that, I simply ...
Check when a Program is Done Running using a .BAT
How would I go about checking to see if a specific program is done running? I'm attempting to make a script that runs a series of .exe's (specifically and setup program and a number of patches) in order automatically.

C#: How would I execute this command line directly to java.exe ?
I am writing a program that needs to run a java.jar server. I need to run the process directly so I can rewrite the output to a textbox and all-in-all have complete control of it.

C#: Why is my Process that is running Java.exe working perfectly, but the window isn't returning ANY output?
I created a Process that is targeted to the Java.exe file. The process should run a Java.jar server file, and continue to run giving output feedback until the server crashed or I forcefully close it down. Everything works fine.. the server is running.. and when I set UseShellExecute to True I can see the black CMD window returning all th...
Getting a reference in .net code to an already running process
Is it possible in managed code to get a reference to an already running process (COM+ component) and call methods on it?

Create a new independent process from another C process
Two C executables A and B exist. A and B communicate to each other through a socket. B can be started independently or through A. If B is started first and A is started next, then A and B start properly without issues. Even if A is restarted, then there are no issues. If B is started through A, then A and B starts properly. But here ...
