Bridge : Process Class

runShellCommandAsynchronously()

Description

Starts a Linux shell command

Unlike runShellCommand(), runShellCommandAsynchronously() is not-blocking. Your sketch will continue to run while the Linux process runs in the background.

Please note that since Process.begin(). calls close the running process is terminated. This is the reason why you can not run 2 processes the same time with the same Process instance.

Syntax

• Process.runShellCommandAsynchronously(cmd)

Parameters

• cmd : String containing the command to execute

Returns

• none

Example

• addParameter()
