Program starting other application
Hi,
My question is about writing a short program hat would be able to do the following:
- start other executable
- detect when that other executable completed its work
This short program would start other executable multiple times, e.g.: one time then wait till it finishes, modify output files and prepare new input files for that other executable then start again, and so on.
What would be good to use to write it to work under linux. I thought c++, is there any better language for this? Working on the files in between would be a bit extensive, so I thought c++ would be good for it. Do you know any place they explain how to do it to work under linux (we have CentOS 5).
Thank you.
