&gt; Hi Vijdan,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; As far as I can understand this is a general programming issue.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; We say that a call is synchronous (or blocking) if it won&#8217;t return
to<br>
&gt; the caller until the task is finished. An asynchronous (or non<br>
&gt; blocking) call returns immediately to the caller point. In that case<br>
&gt; it depends how you&#8217;ll be notified about the completion of the
started<br>
&gt; task. Sometimes you can specify some callback or delegate function, or<br>
&gt; you have to set up some kind of IPC (inter process communication) or<br>
&gt; periodically check some resource.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; system is a standard C call and it is blocking (while _/exec//_execve<br>
&gt; is not).<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; You need to start a new process or a thread and start your desired<br>
&gt; program from there. Instead of using _exec I suggest to use CreateProcess:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425%28VS.85%29.aspx"
target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425%28VS.85%29.aspx</a><br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; This is it, if you just want to simply start a program like NotePad.<br>
&gt; If you want to communicate with this process also, that cannot be<br>
&gt; covered in this e-mail.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Hope that helps,<br>
&gt;<br>

&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Hello,<br>
&gt; I have a problem about running exe from a model<br>
&gt; interpreter in GME.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I run for example<br>
&gt; (void)system(&quot;C:\\WINDOWS\\NOTEPAD.EXE&quot;);<br>
&gt; from the model interpreter code.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; But when I run this exe, my code waits for the cmd to be closed<br>
&gt; for going on.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I want my interpreter &nbsp;to goes on? Is there a way?<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; best regards<br>
&gt; Vijdan<br>
