Hi.

I'm trying to spawn an asynchronous process, but AutoIt only seems to allow child processes via Run and ShellExecute, like the way system() and ShellExecute() behave in C++. Only there you can use spawnl(_P_NOWAIT...) to create an asynchronous process. I would like to have an AutoIt script call a C++ executable, which, in turn, runs two AutoIt scripts as asynchronous processes, so one can work with the other.

Run() vs RunWait() will do a fair bit for you. If you have control over all processes involved, then you can decide what semaphore paradigm you want to use to manage your IPC. If you're looking for multithreaded apps, you're likely better off in c++.

Reading the help file before you post... Not only will it make you look smarter, it will make you smarter.
