Hi folks:
I'm sure this is rather easy to do but for some reason I can't seem to get
it to work.
I need to have my script pause while an application executes some batch
commands on files. After the batch commands are complete I then need to
launch a second application to do more stuff to the files. As my script is
now, application 1 is merrily doing its thing but my script has moved on to
the portion that calls application 2. Because application 1 is still working
on the files certain parameters in the script for app 2 are not met and the
script crashes/fails.
I tried using the timeout command
with timeout of 300 seconds
stuff
end timeout
but it didn't seem to have any affect. Any help or clues?
Thanks
Steve
