A reading of the 'start' command help info ("start /?" at a command prompt)
suggests you may be able to do it by adding the /B and /WAIT arguments to
the START command:

C:\Documents and Settings\jveilleu>start /?
Starts a separate window to run a specified program or command.

START ["title"] [/Dpath] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
      [/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
      [/WAIT] [/B] [command/program]
      [parameters]

    "title"     Title to display in  window title bar.
    path        Starting directory
    B           Start application without creating a new window. The
                application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application
                enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt
                the application
    I           The new environment will be the original environment passed
                to the cmd.exe and not the current environment.
    MIN         Start window minimized
    MAX         Start window maximized
    SEPARATE    Start 16-bit Windows program in separate memory space
    SHARED      Start 16-bit Windows program in shared memory space
    LOW         Start application in the IDLE priority class
    NORMAL      Start application in the NORMAL priority class
    HIGH        Start application in the HIGH priority class
    REALTIME    Start application in the REALTIME priority class
    ABOVENORMAL Start application in the ABOVENORMAL priority class
    BELOWNORMAL Start application in the BELOWNORMAL priority class
    WAIT        Start application and wait for it to terminate
    command/program
                If it is an internal cmd command or a batch file then
                the command processor is run with the /K switch to cmd.exe.
                This means that the window will remain after the command
                has been run.

                If it is not an internal cmd command or batch file then
                it is a program and will run as either a windowed
application
                or a console application.

    parameters  These are the parameters passed to the command/program
.....

I tried this from a command prompt and it did the expected thing (ran the
command directly in the same window I was typing in). Perhaps if you did it
that way but via STAF with PROCESS START it would work too??

Hi,

I don't know of a way to do that. If you use "start" as the STAF PROCESS,
the application will start in a separate Windows shell, so the process
output will not be accessible via STAF.

Thanks,
David

Hi,


I have a windows console application which takes 2 files as input
parameters and executes with a normal priority. After the process
completes, the STAXResult contains the stdout and stderr from this process.


Now for some tests, I want to run this application as a High priority
process and get the output in STAXResult.


I tried using the "start /HIGH <application>" DOS command but it does'nt
return anything in STAXResult.


Can you please let me know if there is any option through which I can
achive this test scenario.


Thanks in advance.
