start command keyword does not block, it returns immediately.

However, it sounds that you need to run multiple commands in the same session, which means that using keywords Write and read xxx might be more suitable solution.

but just to go back on blocking of the keyword. my other scripts do the same command but I kill the process in the script. but since i'm dealing with two different devices, i had to keep it open to monitor the file. but I will def try write and read.

this is quite embarrassing! Thanks a lot for pointing and specifying start command. I kept using execute command.

Start does indeed run straight through :) . will close this as not an issue. my deepest apologies
