process is done running on a remote machine?

[gcue]

I am trying to get around using sleep()

I am running a psexec (which can execute commands on a remote machine) - problem is, i dont know when its done running the app.

in this particular case it's updating an application (bloomberg)

can any of you guys think of a creative way to figure out when a process is done running on a remote machine?

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c c:\cg\support\psexec \\" & $asset & " -d -i c:\temp\upbb.exe /s")

Sleep(20000)

While FileExists("\\" & $asset & "\c$\temp\upbb.exe")
FileDelete("\\" & $asset & "\c$\temp\upbb.exe")
WEnd

@qcue...Did you try ShellExecuteWait() or you can just run the program and keep checking until the process doesnt exist using ProcessExists().

processexists works for remote processes?
