how to wait for a process to close before run another comman

[Huidong]

I tried to run Malwarebytes update, wait for it to close, and then run a scan. Both execute the same mbam.exe with parameters /update and /scan, resp. I wonder how to wait for the first instance to end before running the second command. Thanks you!

I noticed

run command, [directory], [wait=0]

, trying...

no, using run ..., 1 does not work, the second command is run before the first instance is closed. Help please.

It works to some extent:

Code: Select all

"Update and Quick scan"
  run """C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe"" /update -silent", 1;
  msg "Update is done!";
  run """C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe"" /scan -quick -terminate"

But I still have to press OK in response to the stupid message. Is there a way to avoid this?
Thanks!

I was being careless.

Code: Select all

"Update and Quick scan"
  run """C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe"" /update -silent", , 1;
  run """C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe"" /scan -quick -terminate"

This works! The following is wrong!

Code: Select all

run """C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe"" /update -silent", 1;
