How to exit from running mode... 1

[scriptfinder]

Hi!

I want to automate a task that starts a server and exits once the server goes to running mode. The challenge is how to exit from the running mode. If you start the server interactively, through the command prompt, you can ^c from the process, but how do you achieve this by using a script?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You may try to launch the server in background:
server start [!]&[/!]

Hope This Helps, PH.
