realtime, the statement 2 waits for statement 1 to be completed which
takes long time. how do i initiate 1 and then withotu waiting goto
statement 2.

Wouldn’t help. This is #exec and not #system - the process does not
wait, it is completely replaced and “application =
WIN32OLE.new(“Broker.Application”)” is never executed.
realtime, the statement 2 waits for statement 1 to be completed which
WIN32OLE.new(“Broker.Application”)" is never executed.
This is AFAIK platform independent, since it doesn’t (explicitly,
anyway) use #fork or “start”.

i tried that. it does not work for me. it waits
Thread.new do
system(“start E:\TradingTools\IBController
\IBControllerStart_customised.bat”)
end
to get completed before going and doing this
application = WIN32OLE.new(“Broker.Application”)
hello
i have to do the following
1. exec("E:\\TradingTools\\IBController\
\IBControllerStart_customised.bat")
2. application = WIN32OLE.new("Broker.Application")

Wrap #1 in a thread:
Thread.new do
exec(…)
end

You rather want fork.
fork do
exec …
end

Oops, you’re quite right, I was thinking of #system.
Maybe #system would be right for the OP:
Thread.new do
system("…")
end
application = …
