Hey Guys:
I want to pause a batch until an exe called by batch is closed. tried a bunch of commands start/wait pause ping
Start "" /W "Your_Exe" shpuld work, anyway just run your .exe inside the batch by coding
..... "Your_Exe" ........
A batch file executes statemebts sequentially, so it stops to go on until the invoked .exe is closed.

Does not work program is as follows: @ECHO OFF @ECHO >> VERIFY.TXT @echo BEGIN %computername%, %date%, %time% >> verify.txt START /WAIT f:\bat\atomic.exe @echo END-3 %computername%, %date%, %time% >> verify.txt
where verify text is a running text file and the program finds the employee who is screwing with the computer system clock
