Block terminal running sublime

#1

I’m looking for a way to block the terminal when running sublime.
We are using build 4126. Running on linux (bash).

My purpose is to block the terminal as long as sublime is running. I was trying to use the “–wait” flag, but then I must provide a filename as a param to the command. It works fine as long as I’m using the -w and provide a filename.
Then, when I run without a filename, but with a “-w” flag, sublime is not blocking again…

It is like there’s a built in & at the original sublime command.

What are you trying to achieve doing this? You could run a separate instance but that interferes with sessions.

We are running sublime under a job manager, and it loses connection to the instance of sublime, as if it finished with exit code 0.

That doesn’t really clear anything up unfortunately. ST is an application not a job in the traditional sense.

You can run ST in a blocking fashion using --multiinstance, but as it suggests this bypasses the single instance functionality which ST relies upon to not override your session, handle the command line tool, etc.

This works well.
I understand the single instance issue. For our use it is fine.

Thank you very much for your help.
