`pij my-program.exe arguments...` |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Purpose |
|
|
|
|
Use it when you want to run `my-program.exe` in a batch file, but |
|
|
|
|
my-program.exe starts another process(es) and returns before they |
|
|
|
|
complete, which is not what you want: batch file should continue only |
|
|
|
|
when all additional processes also exit. PIJ runs initial process in a |
|
|
|
|
job and waits for this job to become empty, before exiting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ensure the whole subtree of processes has completed before the batch |
|
|
|
|
file continues. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's assume that `my-program.exe` does something useful unattended, |
|
|
|
|
making it usable from batch files. However, its initial process just |
|
|
|
|
starts another process to do the real thing, and then exits, not |
|
|
|
|
waiting for that another process to finish. `START /W` won't help in |
|
|
|
|
this case, as it will return as soon as the initial process exits. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PIJ runs the whole subtree of processes-running-processes in a single |
|
|
|
|
job and waits for this job to become empty before exiting. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Result code (ERRORLEVEL) |
|
|
|
|
PIJ terminates with non-zero exit code if there's some problem during |
|
|
|
|
|
