How to come back to the cmd prompt once the command executed

karthik.raju has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi All, i'm starting the artifactory, and it is starting successfully, but it is not coming out the program.

code is

system ("sh /xx/xx/artifact-3.3.0/bin/artifactory.sh");
print "Done";
[download]

This script is giving output as:-


###########################################################
### Artifactory successfully started (6.898 seconds)    ###
###########################################################
[download]

once it is started, we need to print "done" but this is not happening.

Can you please help me on this.

-Karthik

Your script is waiting for the `artifactory.sh` to finish. If you want to run the shell script in the background, and continue with your Perl script immediately, read the Perl FAQ, question: How do I start a process in the background. - Luke	[reply] [d/l]

blindluke++ Hi karthik.raju, As blindluke suggested you need to run the `/xx/xx/artifact-3.3.0/bin/artifactory.sh` shell script as background process, using '&' so that your main script will continue and print your message "done". *All is well*	[reply] [d/l]
