Subject: know when a asynchronous process is done
Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2008 12:03:21 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <039bf653-5b7a-47ff-a9c9-ad72e6140441@d4g2000prg.googlegroups.com> (raw)

How can i know a asynchronous process (started by my elisp) is done?

----
detail:

i want to write a elisp program so that it runs a shell command to
render a pov-ray file. I want the process to run in the background,
but when it is done, open the generated image.

My problem is that i don't know how to code that knows when a
asynchronous process is done.

Thanks in advance.
