making an app wait for external process


  • Subject: making an app wait for external process

I've searched the archives and have not come across anything that looks like the right solution for this... I'm scripting Graphic Converter to acquire an image via twain, and I need my script to wait for the scan to complete before trying to write the file. The delay command won't work because it pauses the whole computer: when it ends, Graphic Converter still isn't ready to accept more instructions and the script dies.

Please send me your favorite strategy for waiting. Thanks!

Jason
