A while ago I needed to wait for a process in a batch file to finish before the script continued. I did it by using an If statement to create a ‘spoof’ loop, with a delay between each loop iteration of 5 seconds. This example waits for the ‘Java.exe’ process to end before the script continues:
REM Run your command line here
REM Wait for spawned Java.exe process to end
:LOOP
tasklist /fo csv /fi "IMAGENAME eq Java.exe" 2>NUL | find /I /N "Java.exe">NUL
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 (
GOTO CONTINUE
) ELSE (
Timeout /T 5 /Nobreak
GOTO LOOP
)
:CONTINUE
REM Clean up shortcuts
