AAh sorry now i see.
you do not want to wait for execution to stop you want program to continue
but not quit if process is running.
This makes no sense..

* Executing = True*

* Shell “meow.sh” Wait*

* Executing = False*


because the Shell command freezes program if you use Wait

and if you do not use wait then Executing will be false.
Maybe this is the sort of thing you want to do? .....

Private myProc As Process

Public Sub Form_Open()
  myProc = Shell “meow.sh”
End


Public Sub Form_Close()
   If myProc.State = Process.Running Then

       Message(“Please wait”)

      Stop Event

      Return
   Endif


If myProc then myProc.Kill

End
