Open command returns inmediately in OS X

It is possible to launch .app application bundles or .pkg programs in OS X using the open command<:/p>

  <runProgram>
    <program>open</program>
    <programArguments>"${installdir}/packages/mypackage.pkg"</programArguments>
  </runProgram>

However the open returns immediately and the installation continues. If we want to wait until the application finishes, you can use the -W command line option, as follows:

  <runProgram>
    <program>open</program>
    <programArguments>-W "${installdir}/packages/mypackage.pkg"</programArguments>
  </runProgram>
