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

If you don't want to use JScript (it's probably the better solution) try
this:
 
start command nul /c <your program goes here>
 
Note: cmd.exe doesn't support the nul paraemter. So you have to use the
old command.exe. It's still part of XP and VISTA.

        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) 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
