I've an application that starts an FTP call with the Shell Command which
sends its output to a file. The Shell command of course returns a Process
Id number. There is probably a way to use this Process Id to figure out
that process is finished, so I can collect the output and go on with the
program. But I don't know how.

One obvious way is to wait for the file that was output to be found by a Dir
command. By that process seems to hang sometimes. So I thought I'd see if
there was a way go figure out if the process was finished directly.

Anyone out there know how to do this?

Thanks,
Mac
