Subject: Re: starting a process after the previous one is done

Corey,
When I do so, it does the same thing
I dont think ruby waits for the previous system command to be done
before it runs the next line.
( They are concurrent?)

Ay other ideas of how I would be abel to wait on the previous process
to run the next one?

Snippet shown below.

Thankyou,
Partha


-rw-rw-r--   1 pvn      cad            0 Oct 17 10:27 1f_after
-rw-rw-r--   1 pvn      cad        61261 Oct 17 10:27 1f

pvngemini/home/pvn >cat t.rb
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby -W

print "Start\n"
system("ls -lrt /home/pvn > 1f")
system("touch 1f_after")
