Hi, I'm not sure if it's a bug in clisp (2.31 2003-09-01), or just me who misunderstood the documentation: i thought that ext:run-shell-command / ext:run-program, provided with the :wait nil keyword would cause an application to be executed in the background. (ext:run-program "bla" :wait nil) hangs until the program "bla" terminates (which unfortunately never happens in my special case) is there a way to launch a program in the background via clisp (winXP)? thanks, Basim |
