I am running an external executable, capturing the result as an object. The .exe is a tool for selection of a population based on genetic parameters and genetic value predictions. The program executes and writes output as requested, but fails to exit. There is no error and when there is a manual stop it exits with status code 0. How can I get this call to exit and continue as it might with other system calls?
The call is formatted as seen below:
t <- tryCatch(system2("OPSEL.exe", args = "CMD.txt", timeout = 10))
I've tried running this in command shell with the two files referenced above and it exits appropriately.
