cornerRun() in background

Hi,

starting a corner analysis from the Corner Tool pops up the log file
and shows steady progress. Whilst simulating all cadence windows are
not locked.

If I save the ocean script from the corner tool and load it via

load("corner.ocn")

in the CIW window, the same simulation runs, but the logfile doesn't
show any progress until all simulations are finished. Whilst
simulating all cadence windows are locked. Since everything is locked
and I don't the the progress from the logfile I don't know whether
cadence has crashed down or whether and how long the simulations are
still ongoing.

Is there any way to push the

cornerRun()

command into the background, so that the cadence windows are not
locked while simulating and the simulation progress is visible?

one way i can see is to run ocean in a separate process - something like

ipcBeginProcess("ocean < corner.ocn")

this would prevent the ciw hanging up i guess.

cheers,

If you do ocnHelp('cornerRun) you'll see there's an argument ?block.
Try doing cornerRun(?block nil) - I've not tried this to make sure that it
works, but it does with run(), so I would expect it to.

Andrew.
