about spawnl

[xacoolboy]

Such as:
spawnl(P_WAIT,"test.exe",NULL);
In DOS,I design a program--main.exe; in a menu,I want to run test.exe and return main.exe.but,now,when the test.exe finished,it cann't return main.exe.
What can I do?
thanks!

ps:my english is poor.

You have a parameter missing. Try

>spawnl(P_WAIT,"test.exe","test.exe",NULL);

Is test.exe definately being run?

Try this code, and see if it works:

#include <stddef.h>
#include <process.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{

	printf ("Before\n");
	spawnl(P_WAIT,"temp.exe", "temp.exe", NULL);
	printf ("After\n");
	return (0);
}

[edit]Note I called the child process temp.exe in this example[/edit]
