Have you tried an API call instead?

HCL Notes/Domino 8.5 Forum (includes Notes Traveler)

Subject:

- The Notes 5 forum used to be chock full of examples of how to use the windoze CreateProcessA() API call to do the same thing Shell is doing. It's not as hard as it seems it could be, and it has one very major advantage:

1. You get a handle to the process so you may use other API calls to query it.

- Using that handle you can get an exit code, query the status to see if it's waiting, and do about anything the system will allow you do to with a process. As the process initiator you should even be able to kill it if you want.

- Even if using an API call does not fix your problem, it may provide enough information to give you an idea how to fix your problem.

Hope this helps...
