ExecCommand Activity Wait Question

Post by gagan8877 »

Does ExecCommand wait for the command (.exe or .bat) to complete or does it just launch by sending it to the OS and returns success? Could not find this in the help file or the site. Is the behaviour different if the cmd is run via job before/after subroutine?

Thanks

It waits for it to complete and returns the success / failure after that. And no, not different before/after job.
