[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60180] Command line startup on Windows does not wait for completion

[Holger Zeinert]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #60180 (project octave):

Thanks for you reply.

I suppose you mean:

c:\Program Files\GNU Octave\Octave-6.2.0\mingw64\bin\octave.bat


Yes, that one waits, but only for nogui mode:


Rem   Start Octave (this detaches and immediately returns).
if %GUI_MODE%==1 (
  start octave-gui.exe --gui %*
) else (
  octave-cli.exe %*
)


However, the GUI mode is very helpful to debug the background Octave
processing and once everything is fine switch back to no gui.

So, it would be good if both gui and nogui would wait. Backgrounding a
calculation can then be controlled by the caller, if needed.

For me, it does not matter whether this is possible with the .bat or .vbs
version. Just one of it should wait in both cases gui and nogui.
