[wpkg-users] Testing is a specific process is running

[David Petterson]

You can use a script instead:
(Like this one I got from a colleague)

=== wait_for.cmd ===
@ECHO OFF
:Loop
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >NUL
tasklist.exe /FI "IMAGENAME eq %1" 2>NUL | find.exe "PID" >NUL || GOTO
Continue
GOTO Loop
:Continue
===

Call the script with the exe you wait for:  wait_for.cmd firefox.exe
