Shell Prompt...

[Rohit Reddy]

The shell seems to be working just fine, but after I spawn a program and
it's done executing I have to press enter to get the prompt to show again,
is this normal/acceptable without penalty? Thanks

I think you see the prompt right after you hit enter to spawn the
process, it's just that the ouptut of the newly spawn process comes
after the prompt and makes you think the prompt is gone.


If your output is like this:

$/c/program.exe
$ <output
from program>

then it's fine. See, the shell prompt is there but it comes early.

I had this problem for a little while, but after fixing an unrelated problem
with Sys_Wait, it went away and now the shell behaves just like you would
expect a shell to behave. So I'd still check that your problem isn't
symptomatic of trouble in Sys_Wait...
