This package consists of two activities:

**Run Process With Timeout** - allows starting processes and waiting for them to exit using the System.Diagnostic.Process class.

**Run Script With Timeout** - allows starting scripts and waiting for them to exit using Windows Script Host (cscript.exe) application.

The only difference between the two activities is that **Run Script With Timeout** utilizes the [Windows Scripting Host](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Script_Host) (cscript.exe) to run the script specified in the filename. Both of them use the System.Diagnostic.Process class. 

Use cases:

*   SAP has a built in recorder that translates screen interactions into a VBS script. Existing VBS scripts can now be invoked using the Run Script With Timeout activity in the automation workflows.
*   Existing scripts or command line applications can be integrated in a synchronous manner allowing the RPA developer to also utilize their output the automation workflows.

**NOTE**: Installation Guidelines for Custom Activities can be found [here](https://dmtyylqvwgyxw.cloudfront.net/instances/214/assets/help-guides/UiPath-Go-Installation-Guide-Custom-Activities.pdf)

Activity pack that enables running processes and scripts while capturing the output and waiting for the process or script to exit before continuing
