I am currently trying to write a short PowerShell script which is supposed to start a custom commandline executable, and wait for the process to finish, and continue execution when the process terminated.
So basically my code looks very simple, like this:
Start-Process "myCmdLineApp.exe" -Wait
Write-Host "Process finished, exitting..."
My observation is that in 99% of all cases, this works flawlessly. But in rare conditions, I observe that myCmdLineApp.exe finished, but the PowerShell script is still waiting for the process. I checked in taskmanager of course, but myCmdLineApp.exe is definitely not running anymore, but my script doesn't continue.
I am now wondering what I might examine further, or what might cause this strange behaviour. Thank you for any ideas or comments on that topic!
