Run (execute a process)

function Run(commandLine: string): boolean;

The Run function spawns a process to execute an external program or script. The command can include parameters as needed.

This function waits for the spawned process to exit, then returns true if it ran without errors, or false if errors occurred.

Examples

Example 1: Run a Windows batch script

if (Run('cmd /c "C:\\my_shell_scripts\\some_script.bat"')) {
  Log('Batch script ran successfully');
}

Example 2: Run a Linux shell script

if (Run('/bin/bash /home/user/scripts/do_backup.sh')) {
  Log('Backup script ran successfully');
}

Example 3: Run a program with arguments

if (Run('/usr/bin/convert input.png -resize 200x200 output.png')) {
  Log('Image converted successfully');
}
