There is a run_debug.bat, you can run it and read log.

Do you use resumable subs?
Maybe this link might help: resumable subs with return values

How do you run it from a command prompt exit immediatly?
You meant that in cmd window? you run it then exit the cmd window?

 

[mauriegio]

yes and continue working in background

thank maurizio

 

[teddybear]

yes and continue working in background

thank maurizio

How does it continue working in background? do you run it as a service? or your.exe && exit?

 

[mauriegio]

No normal exe from command prompt, i need to wait the finish

1.Is your exe a non-ui app?
2.What is run it and exit immediatly? do you describle how to do ?
3. How do you know it is working in backgroud?
4.Do you add log to your app for debugging?

...can i add a question...?

is your app into a batch file, it runs before a process and then another one start immediately ?

then you need to wait for the app to finish from commandline. if the exitcode is 0 then you can continue to work. if not then check the error-code.

Hard to help more based on the spare infos you provided.

There is a run_debug.bat, you can run it and read log.

As I said at post#2, there is a run_debug.bat in the folder, you can edit it. after your app is done, continue to execute the command you specified.

because the file is created after 4/5 minutes

...are you calling from your app any other "app", "program" that creates that "file" ?

if "yes" you must wait this app end.. and then end your app... i can't think anything more... the info you shared is limited as DonManfred said.

Does your app exit after it finished work?
Is it another app handle the file your app created?

 

[mauriegio]

No exit immediatly
no other app handel the files
