I'm trying to call a windows-cmd-file by python's subprocess.Popen module. This script then calls a powershell file that contains the problem logic. The call works fine and the script is executed, anyway it does not seem to terminate.
My current code is the following:
pRun = subprocess.Popen([r'C:\runps.cmd', 'C:\psfile.ps1', 'arg2'], shell=False)
pRun.wait()
... rest of code
So far I am not interested in interaction with the script (like stdin or stdout), I just want to call the script and know when it is terminated.
When I call the same command (C:\runpw.cmd C:\psfile.ps1 arg2) from the windows command line it works fine, doing all the desired actions and then terminates s.t. I can input the next command. That's why I assume that python might wait forever for the termination of a process or thread, that just won't terminate.
Thanks for your help in advance!
post edit: The code will be executed on a windows machine
