If true, Grooper will launch the process and wait for a period of time for the process to complete or close. This is useful in cases where the process being launched does not have a user interface to interact with and is expected to run and complete invisible to the user, for example, a command line executable. If false, Grooper will launch the process and not care how long it takes to close. This is useful in cases where the process being launched has a user interface to be interacted with, for example a file that will be opened.

The maximum amount of time to wait for the process to finish in milliseconds before timing out.
