Run() Waiting until window is closed

[Socket1]

I'm using $handle = Run("command", "", @SW_HIDE, $STDOUT_CHILD)

and then after it a sleep of 2 seconds and then code that reads the content of the command's stdout

The command happens to be a putty/plink ssh window but it does not work the way its expected

if I change @SW_HIDE to @SW_MAXIMIZED the command window shows up and only when I close it does the

code to start reading the data come in.

The documentation for the Run command says that "After running the requested program the script continues. To pause execution of the script until the spawned program has finished use the RunWait function instead."

So what is going on?

I've also tried @ComSpec & " /c command" and it still produces the same results.

I can tell the SSH session is opened by the command because the logs show so so there should be at least the login message in the stdout buffer.

I don't think putty writes to stdout.

There is a known bug with PLINK.EXE. Adding the STDIN_CHILD opt flag in the RUN statement fixed this for me.
