[TaskName("waitforexit")]

Examples

Starts two batch processes, and waits for them to finish.

    <exec program="batch1.exe" pidproperty="batch1.pid" spawn="true" />
<exec program="batch2.exe" pidproperty="batch2.pid" spawn="true" />
<waitforexit pid="${batch1.pid}" />
<waitforexit pid="${batch2.pid}" />

Remarks

When used in combination with the ExecTask, it allows processed to be spawned for a certain duration or task, and then wait until the process is finished before continueing.

When the process identified by NAnt.Contrib.Tasks.WaitForExitTask.ProcessId is no longer running, then the outcome is considered successful.
