How to stop script from automatically closing? - scripting

I open an .exe file but the script immediately closes after opening it. How can I prevent the script from closing?
Local $engine= "C:\Users\Davis\Desktop\chessEngine\stockfish-5-win\Windows\stockfish_14053109_32bit.exe"
Run($engine, "", #SW_MAXIMIZE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
Removing $STOUT_CHILD from Run() leaves the script open after executing, but I need this to read output from the program. Why is this happening?

Local $engine = "C:\Users\Davis\Desktop\chessEngine\stockfish-5-win\Windows\stockfish_14053109_32bit.exe"
Local $iPID = Run($engine, "", #SW_MAXIMIZE, $STDOUT_CHILD)
ProcessWaitClose($iPID)

This ist an example how to get output from a DOS command.
ConsoleWrite(_getDOSOutput('ipconfig /all') & #CRLF)
Func _getDOSOutput($command)
Local $text = '', $Pid = Run('"' & #ComSpec & '" /c ' & $command, '', #SW_HIDE, 2 + 4)
While 1
$text &= StdoutRead($Pid, False, False)
If #error Then ExitLoop
Sleep(10)
WEnd
Return StringStripWS($text, 7)
EndFunc ;==>_getDOSOutput

Milestone Camera Selector Software

I'm trying to create some AutoIT code for work to make launching our camera systems a bit easier. As of right now, I've been able to get my code to launch a gui, display a list of camera servers that you can add onto, and be able to add new servers to an internal directory. What I'm having a bit of trouble with is the section in which the program is supposed to switch to the newly launched Milestone software, type in the information, and click enter. I've found that the issue is linked to part of the start() function, in which WinWaitActive($handle) either isn't using the correct handle, or maybe the function I'm using is incorrect?
My end goal is to be able to wait 4 seconds, switch focus from whatever current window is selected to the newly opened Milestone window using either its handle or its PID, then send 2 TABs, the ip address, then send ENTER

Once again, any help would be greatly appreciated in helping me finish this project I started months ago. Also, if you think this would be easier to achieve in a different programming language like python or AutoHotkey, please let me know! :)
My apologies on going MIA. I got really busy with things and did not find time to look into the details of the software.
Essentially what is happening is the PID returned is associated with a process called CiceroUIWndFrame (a parent process running in the background) and it is returning the handle of that process. Since that process never get's activated the script just stays paused waiting for it to pop up. Unfortunately due to the fact that the Milestone software does not have it's own PID (look at the Details tab within task manager, you will notice the Milestone software is just called client.exe) we cannot use a good method to obtain the correct handle.
The only solution that I am aware of is to obtain the handle of the active window. So this modified script will run the Milestone X Protect Software, wait 1 second (hopefully long enough to start) and obtain the handle of whatever program is active. It then sleeps for 4 additional seconds, and waits for you to activate the client again. So if you are in another window and wait several minutes, the moment you activate the client login again it will send the keystrokes.
The downfall to this method is that you are relying on the active window after launch to be Milestone (if it takes longer to load, you get the wrong handle, if you click out of focus before 1 second you get the wrong handle).

How to run WSL programs within AutoIt?

I'm trying to run a linux console application using AutoIt.
So far I was successful in generating a batch file with the following command:
wsl /home/ggeorgiev/DD/myprogram --json_file /mnt/c/Users/ggeorgiev/my_input.json
This batch runs successfully from cmd, powershell and also when I just double click on it in the explorer. So, I'm thinking that part is okay.
In AutoIt, I'm trying to run the same batch file ("JBDD_start.bat") using the following function:
Func RunJBDD()
Local $iPID = Run("cmd.exe " & "JBDD_start.bat", #WorkingDir, #SW_HIDE, BitOR($STDERR_CHILD, $STDOUT_CHILD,$RUN_CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE ))
Local $sOutput = ""
While 1
$sOutput &= StdoutRead($iPID)
If #error Then ; Exit the loop if the process closes or StdoutRead returns an error.
ExitLoop
EndIf
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Stdout Read:", $sOutput)
WEnd
$sOutput = ''
While 1
$sOutput &= StderrRead($iPID)
If #error Then ; Exit the loop if the process closes or StderrRead returns an error.
ExitLoop
EndIf
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Stderr Read:", $sOutput)
WEnd
EndFunc
It doesn't show anything in the StdErr nor in StdOut message boxes.
Any suggestions on what may have gone wrong or how to find what happens "behind the scenes" are highly appreciated.
Try this, maybe it helps to get your output.
ConsoleWrite( _getDOSOutput('ping 4.2.2.2') & #CRLF)
Func _getDOSOutput($command)
Local $text = '', $Pid = Run('"' & #ComSpec & '" /c ' & $command, '', #SW_HIDE, 2 + 4)
While 1
$text &= StdoutRead($Pid, False, False)
If #error Then ExitLoop
Sleep(10)
WEnd
Return $text
EndFunc ;==>_getDOSOutput
I'm not familiar with AutoIt, but I'm going to take an educated guess here. If I'm wrong, at least it might help someone else.
I notice that AutoIt comes with both 32-bit and 64-bit executables. Make sure you are either:
Using the 64-bit version to execute your batch file
Or, if you really do need to run the 32-bit version of AutoIt, call C:\Windows\Sysnative\wsl.exe

Output text File creation/saving VBA code timing issue

Problem Summary: Creating a text file for FTP commands is not finishing by the time the command file needs to be called. It won't trap with a "if file exists". How to make sure the file is created before continuing with the code?
Details: I'm working on an portion of code in my Excel workbook to FTP some files. To do that, I'm creating a FTPcmd.txt file via code containing the FTP commands, closing the file and then shelling the FTP command in the CMD window. It looks like the command file is taking too long to complete the write and, therefore, I'm getting an "Permission Refused" error. The FTP log says "Error opening script file C:\temp\FTPcmd.txt." I am error checking to see if the file exists, but I think the file shows up as existing after the open statement, not the close. I'm not hitting the else statement in the DIR <>"" The IsFileOpen function was found on "http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=468 VBA Express : Excel - Check If a File Is Already Open"
I don't believe it's a problem ShellWait problem. I need the file to write before I call the Shell.
If I step through it manually, it works, after I see the file appear in the directory.
I'm also piping the FTP output to a file and reading it back in for success/failure messaging in a similar manner and I'm getting the same problem with that.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
