Wait For Process to Finish

[Jordan S]

I have written a small Console application that executes the following line,
amongst other things:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(currentWorkingDir ectory +
@"\backup_files.cmd");

My Console app is NOT waiting for the execution of backup_files.cmd to
finish.

How can I cause my console app to wait for backup_files.cmd to finish before
proceeding?

Thanks!

You can use p.WaitForExit();
