Synchronous File.execute() calls

New Here ,

I need to call a bat script using the File execute call and would like to be able to detect when the bat script completes. Is there a way to synchronously handle the File.execute() function in the photoshop csInterface?

var filename = File("path_to_bat_script");

filename.execute();

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Have the bat file do something that the script can detect the bat command has done so the script knows the bat has finished its processing. Create a file in the script that the bat command will delete when it is  done.  Pause the script in a pause loop that test the existence of that file. After some time if the file still exists terminate the script for the bat command failed to delete the file something went wrong.  If the file gets deleted continue the scripts processing.  

I use a program potrace in a Photoshop script.  So I can place in a vector smart object svg layer. I make sure the output file Protrace will create does not exists before I run the application and loop the script testing for the file to be created.
