Check if Process is active

**Supafly** · October 20, 2004

Hi all!

I need some help.

I must program a script to check SETUP.exe (if the process still is active).

If ist still active, the script should check it again and so on.

If Setup.exe doesn't exist anymore, the Script should run a .bat file.

can someone help me?

it should be VBS (for logonscript)

thx for the tip, but for what shall i use this tool when i've got problems with scripting *g*?

i dont know how to check a process....

what i can do is a loop

**MCT** · October 20, 2004

ProcessExists ( "process" )

if u had read the autoit help file, u would have known that

Heh yup...here is a few examples...cut up and edit how ever you like.

Run  ( "setup.exe" )

Do
	Sleep	( 250 )
Until ProcessExists ( "setup.exe" ) = 0

Run  ( "some.bat" )

Exit

Or

RunWait  ( "setup.exe" )

Run  ( "some.bat" )

Exit

Ether should do the trick

Cool.

If your new to Autoit and like it. Get Scite4Autoit3 to script with.

And Resource Hacker for it as well. Put exe inside folder 'AutoIt3\SciTe\CompileAU3'
