"foo --abc", though another option would invoke "foo --xyz".
foo may take several minutes to complete and I don't want Geany to appear as if it's hung.
You might try one of these:
1. os.execute("start foo --abc") -- Windows 2. os.execute("foo --abc &") -- Linux etc. 3. geany.launch( "foo" , "--abc") -- cross-platform (see docs)
Notifying the user about process completion/success/failure would be the responsibility of the the external program itself.
