Batch file wait for program with complex command line finish

Question

I need to run this command

LEProc.exe -runas ba954abf-2cf7-4efc-90c3-4b6d90aed470 "%~dp0Release\noppack.exe" data script

Next line in batch should be processed after this is finished. Now, there's many ways, bt I'd prefer something as easy as START /WAIT, but no matter how hard I try, running this with START results in The system cannot find the file specified.

After demon.devin's answer this is the solution:

:CHECK_RUNNING

    set errorlevel=
    tasklist /fi "imagename eq noppack.exe" | find /i "noppack.exe"> NUL
    if /i %errorlevel% GTR 0 goto CONTINUE
    ping -n 1 -w 5000 1.1.1.1 > nul
    goto CHECK_RUNNING

:CONTINUE
[...]

Answer 1

It looks like LEproc.exe spawns another process.
Then it returns and there is no use waiting for LEproc.exe while you want to know when Noppack.exe is finished.

You should check with tasklist/pslist and a loop (with a delay) if nopppack.exe is still running.

Answer 2

I haven't tested this but maybe this can help..

@echo off
goto begin

:: INFO: Check to see if a process is running and if so wait before launching
::       a new process. After checking for a process this .bat file will wait 
::       for a set amount of seconds declared be the user before checking and
::       looping again or moving onto the next command.

:: EDIT: Change "seconds=" to "seconds=15000" to set a time of 15 seconds for
::       the wait period. For 5 seconds change it to "seconds=5000" For extra
::       commands you should add "set app3=AnotherProcess.exe" and repeat for
::       more if need be but be sure to compensate for the new command below.

:begin

:: Set length in seconds here
set seconds=

:: Set your processes here
set app1=noppack.exe
set app2=NewProcess.exe

:: Do not edit


:: First loop check
echo.
echo.
echo Starting the LEProc.exe process...

LEProc.exe -runas ba954abf-2cf7-4efc-90c3-4b6d90aed470 "%~dp0Release\noppack.exe" data script

:check_one
    cls

    set errorlevel=

    tasklist /fi "imagename eq %app1%" | find /i "%app1%"> NUL

    if /i %errorlevel% GTR 0 goto complete_one

    echo.
    echo The %app1% process is running!
    echo.
    echo Will check again in a few seconds.
    echo.
    ping -n 1 -w %seconds% 1.1.1.1 > nul
    goto check_one

:: First process complete
:complete_one
    echo.
    echo The %app1% process has finished!
    echo.
    echo Starting the %app2% process...

    START /WAIT %app2%

:: Second loop check
:check_two
    cls

    set errorlevel=

    tasklist /fi "imagename eq %app2%" | find /i "%app2%"> NUL

    if /i %errorlevel% GTR 0 goto complete_two

    echo.
    echo The %app2% process is running!
    echo.
    echo Will check again in a few seconds.
    echo.
    ping -n 1 -w %seconds% 1.1.1.1 > nul
    goto check_two

:: Second process complete
:complete_two
    echo.
    echo The %app2% process has finished!

Read the commented section for usage and what to edit.

If @LotPings isn't correct then change app1=noppack.exe to app1=LEProc.exe.

Hope this helps!
