[clisp-list] run-shell-command / run-program with :wait nil

[Basim Al-S. <ba...@gm...>]

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
