How to execute a command via command-line and wait for it to be done

Question

I'm trying to execute a command via command-line and afterwards execute another command (not in cmd) which dependes on the outcome of the former command. The problem is that the first command takes about 2 minutes to end, and the 2nd command won't "wait" for the first one to end. How can I hold the 2nd command to wait until the first ends?

Thanks in advance!

public void runCmd(){   String command = @"/k java -jar myJava.jar";   ProcessStartInfo cmdsi = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");   cmdsi.Arguments = command;   Process cmd = Process.Start(cmdsi); } . . . runCmd();           //first command, takes 2 minutes to finish MessageBox.Show("This Should popup only when runCmd() finishes");

Use the Process.WaitForExit Method:

 public void runCmd()  {     String command = @"/k java -jar myJava.jar";     ProcessStartInfo cmdsi = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe");     cmdsi.Arguments = command;     Process cmd = Process.Start(cmdsi);     cmd.WaitForExit();      } . . .  runCmd();          MessageBox.Show("This Should popup only when runCmd() finishes");
