Tranquil IT Forum

Good morning,
I use a Python script to launch other scripts (often batch or ps1 files).
In my package, setup.py ends with the instruction:
In my bat I launch commands wmic (uninstall) and I use other functions which may take some time to complete.

My question is: How can I prevent Wapt from shutting down the computer before the batch process is complete? How can I make Wapt understand that the job isn't finished and that it needs to wait before shutting down?

I thought about using `time.sleep(10)`... but well, it's not very... clean Furthermore, the script does not take the same amount of time on each machine.

By the way:
I discovered WAPT during my studies while looking for deployment software; I use it on my personal computer and, since this year, in the company where I work! It's an excellent product.
I would also like to know where I can report problems related to my packages or my usage.

EDIT: Oops, wrong forum

For your function, you could write it like this:
Good package development!

Good morning,
Thanks for the reply. I'll try your solution in the next update of my package.

I'm considering abandoning batch processing and rewriting my script in Python, but I'm afraid I'll encounter the same problem if I end my Python script with:

os.popen('wmic product where name="SoftwareName" call uninstall')

Good day

Hi,
I use it successfully: The `proc.wait()` function works well in my case, as it also reboots the machine at the end of the process. You must, of course, import `subprocess`. And replace `cmd` with your command, whatever it may be.
The timeout=xxx solution is flawed; it's ideal for.. race condition.

Thanks, I tried it with proc.wait() and it works fine
