Synchronous command line execution?

When started from the command line, IFW executes asynchronous, also the GUI is shown. Is there any better command line integration of IFW? I don't really care about the GUI, but running it synchronous or at least offering the possibility to execute some user-defined post image process script would be very useful. Currently I e.g. want to run 2 imaging tasks one after each other, is there any way to do this? Thank you
Edit: I am also missing a possibility to read the error code due to the asynchronous execution ):

start /min /wait "" "C:\{path}\imagew.exe"
where {path} is the path to IFW.
The DOS Start command when used as above, will achieve what you want.

That seems to work great and I learned something new about the command line, thank you!
One question: Why do I need the "" before "C:\\imagew.exe"? I checked start /? but I couldn't find why?

It's just a blank title for the command. If you don't include it the program thinks the path in the quotes is the title.
Code: Select all
START ["title"] [/D path] [/I] [/MIN] [/MAX] [/SEPARATE | /SHARED]
[/LOW | /NORMAL | /HIGH | /REALTIME | /ABOVENORMAL | /BELOWNORMAL]
[/NODE <NUMA node>] [/AFFINITY <hex affinity mask>] [/WAIT] [/B]
[command/program] [parameters]

ah, ok, thank you. I missed this argument, somehow it looks like it would be optional, but I understand the problem with leaving it out.
