Echo runwait commands to the screen

[n0manarmy]

I am using autoit to run a series of commands to turn on the registry of a remote machine, delete profiles older than 14 days and then turn off the remote registry on our windows 7 machines. I cannot figure out how to either have the commands outputs displayed in their cmd boxes.

I see no outputs when I turn on remote registry, delete old profiles, and then turn off the remote registry. The application works so far, however the outputs being displayed in some way or another would be great because it can take a long time to run.

If I can use runwait or shellexecutewait to see the outputs of the commands I run it would be a huge help

You could replace RunWait with Run and use $STDOUT_CHILD to grab the output of the program. To wait until the program has finished use something like:

Local $iPID = Run(...)
Local $sStdOutRead = ""
While ProcessExists($iPID)
    $sStdOutRead &= StdoutRead($iPID)
WEnd
