Hi I'm looking for a way to pause script in a button from running while a large database is being detached and unzipped. Only afterwards the script may go to step 2. Who has any suggestions?

I hope you don't hate me for coming up with something so simple...
You can achieve this with a simple DIR statement.
Here's an example:
When you run this, the script will stay in an endless loop (unless you CTRL-BREAK it) and will just sit there waiting for that file to exist.
