Is there a way to wait until a java or .NET process exits apart from using pause()? Using an example from this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8932157/3850072

while true
    if proc.HasExited
        fprintf('\nProcess exited with status %d\n', proc.ExitCode);
        break
    end
    fprintf('.');
    pause(.1);
end

I was trying to use proc.StartInfo.Arguments = '\wait'; or even proc.WaitForExit(); but these attempts didn't work. I can achieve what I want by using the system command instead, but in that case the output window of the console doesn't get displayed.

  • Whats about system('start /wait ping 127.0.0.1')? Uses system command and opens a new window Commented Feb 24, 2015 at 14:15
  • I should clarify: I can either make system wait by calling status = system('C:\SIMPACKv8.9\spck.bat') or let the output be shown by status = system('C:\SIMPACKv8.9\spck.bat &'), but in the second case Matlab continues, it doesn't wait for the process to be finished. ping 127.0.0.1 didn't seem to do anything...
