Pauses script execution until a given process exists.
ProcessWait ( "process" [, timeout = 0] )
| process | The name of the process to check. |
| timeout | [optional] Specifies how long to wait (in seconds). Default is to wait indefinitely. |
| Success: | the Pid of the process. |
| Failure: | 0 if the wait timed out. |
Process names are executables without the full path, e.g., "notepad.exe" or "winword.exe"
The process is polled approximately every 250 milliseconds.
This function is the only process function not to accept a PID. Because PIDs are allocated randomly, waiting for a particular PID to exist doesn't make sense.
