Waiting For Progress App From Java

[Boomn4x4]

I've got a java application that I'm using to execute a Progress application via "mbpro database -p program.p" I'm then doing a Process.waitFor() in java to wait for that process to terminate before continuing. The process terminates immediatly. With that said, I'm not really a progress developer, but my assumption here is that "mbpro" is the process I'm kicking off, which then starts a new process, the "program.p" application and terminates immediatly w/o waiting for program.p to complete. If that is the case, is there a way to get mbpro to wait for program.p to quit before shutting down itself.

Thank you.

Mbpro is a batch file or shell script depending on your os. You will need to extract the line for the actual executable from the script.

Or maybe just use mpro in stead of mbpro ?
