Cool,

just what I needed. I set up a tray menu based on modern menu from Holger.

For the menu I wrote a treeview based edit tool, which can handle the menu ini.

After editing the tray menu has to be restarted.

I just thought about it, so that it works for script and exe, as I saw this tool.

Works great and really easy to use - no changes, nothing complicated - only include and use.

If I find the stars button - you get it.

Best regards, Reinhard

LAST VERSION - 1.0

07-Mar-10

This is my very simple and small UDF. Allows you to restart the script from any location with full restoration of the original command line parameters. I use this library in several of my programs, and I was not disappointed. I hope this UDF will be useful for many as for me. I will be glad to any feedback and suggestions.

Restart UDF Library v1.0

Restart.au3

Example

#NoTrayIcon

#Include <Misc.au3>
#Include <Restart.au3>

_Singleton('MyProgram')

If MsgBox(36, 'Restarting...', 'Press OK to restart this script.') = 6 Then
    _ScriptRestart()
EndIf

many thanks.it's perfect!

Try to face everything troubles you.nothing is impossible!

is it possible to make scite again the StdOut process for the script

So its possible to use ConsoleWrite

How to make this code write in the console

#NoTrayIcon
#Include <Misc.au3>
#Include <Restart.au3>
_Singleton('MyProgram')
If MsgBox(36, 'Restarting...', 'Press OK to restart this script.') = 6 Then
_ScriptRestart()
ConsoleWrite('-> Restarted..!')
EndIf

My code:

PredictText: Predict Text of an Edit Control Like Scite. Remote Gmail: Execute your Scripts through Gmail. StringRegExp:Share and learn RegExp.

Run As System: A command line wrapper around PSEXEC.exe to execute your apps scripts as System (LSA). Database: An easier approach for _SQ_LITE beginners.

MathsEx: A UDF for Fractions and LCM, GCF/HCF. FloatingText: An UDF for make your text floating. Clipboard Extendor: A clipboard monitoring tool. 

Custom ScrollBar: Scroll Bar made with GDI+, user can use bitmaps instead. RestrictEdit_SRE: Restrict text in an Edit Control through a Regular Expression.

Your consolewrite is what is known as unreachable code, it will never get to that point.

You would need to add code, to indicate externally whether the script has been restarted.

And read it upon starting the script.

Of course upon exiting your script normally or via a crash you would need to reset whatever variable

you use, be that a text or ini file, or registry or whatever.

Hi all,

thanks for this UDF, very usefull !

But sometimes, i encounter a problem :o:

My users run my program from the network :   \\myserver\share\program.exe

When i need to update my program, i replace my program.exe with a new version.  The name is still program.exe  but it is in version2 now (vesus version 1 before)

So i have overwritten my program.exe with a new program.exe, the version 1 does'nt exist anymore but users are still executing it.

When i restart my program, the users which where executing the version1 should be now in version 2 after restart.

But not always, sometimes some users remains with the version 1 :blink:, even severals days after it has been replaced. (Something which looks like a cache problem from windows).

=> I've looked your code: restart.au3 does this: run the exe, get the new PID, send the actuel PID to the new process, and send an exit. The new program wait until the old process die and then goes on.

In this way, we start the program, before killing the old one.   My 'cache' probleme may come from that.

 

do you have any idea for me ?

I know this is not an autoit problem but you have good ideas there ^^ o:)

thanks !

Nicolas.

hi guys !

I reply to myself, but still got the problem.

So, i found another similar case today, i used process explorer to check location , path, etc of the executable being used and it indicate my network path.

Nothing that help me on that point.

I have to take the time to make a real stop and start, using a second distinct program. And i know i won't have the problem anymore...

Hi,

I have the udf Restart.au3 included in my script but I have the following problem and can't find where it goes wrong;

When I start my script without compiling it first, Restart.au3 works fine. It restarts the script.

But when I compile the script it won't restart. I don't get any errormessages.

Does anyone have an idea?
