#inside openPdf.rb

openPdf = Thread.new{        check = exec("test.bat")
   openPdf.stop    }
puts 'done!'


#
#inside file "test.bat"
#
contents.pdf
exit

When I run "ruby openPdf.rb"
the "done!" message only apear after close contents.pdf file
Any body know how to make openPdf.rb does have to wait for "test.bat" 
file to be closed before  doing "puts 'done1' "?
