RE: Subversion under Windows: Start programs asynchronously in hook script

I assume you a using Windows because you made reference to Cmd and Start.

The only way I could get the result you want was to use JScript. I setup the post-commit.bat file to start a JScript file, StartAsync.js. Inside the script I then started another command. Files below.

Post-commit.bat
@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS

:batchMain
    SET thisFolder=%~dp0
    SET scriptHost=%SystemRoot%\System32\wscript.exe

    "%scriptHost%" "%thisFolder%StartAsync.js"
GOTO :EOF

ENDLOCAL

StartAsync.js
var winShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var fileSystem = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var scriptPath = WScript.ScriptFullName;
var asyncScriptPath = fileSystem.BuildPath(fileSystem.GetParentFolderName(scriptPath), "SomethingDoneAsync.js");

winShell.Run(asyncScriptPath);

SomethingDoneAsync.js
WScript.Sleep(30000); // Sleep for 30 seconds.

All of these files were in the same folder as the post-commit.bat file but they don't need to be. The winShell.Run() command can be any valid command line, it doesn't have to be another script.

Hope this helps.
Keith.

Subject: Subversion under Windows: Start programs asynchron in hook script

Hi!

I tried to implement the start of some programs asynchronous within the hook script,
so the script finished (and the commit is finshed) before the program exits.

I tried "start progam" and "cmd /C start program" but nothing works! Every time the commit
is only finished after the program finishes.

In detail:
We are running Subversion & Redmine (www.redmine.org<http://www.redmine.org>) and use the command "ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production"
to update with each commit. This command can take a long time (20s - 30s) to complete and the commit is only finished after this time.

Someone can help?

best regards,
Gregor
