Konzine 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Hello, I am attempting to write a script that looks at a webpage for a value (in example "shutdown" would display as simple text), and then uses that to shutdown a process. I had one before years ago, unfortunately I have completely forgotten how I came about it. Something very basic I've been trying.. If InetRead("http://konzine.com/lol" ="shutdown") Then ProcessClose("notepad.exe") EndIf Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konzine 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Brain fart. If InetRead("http://konzine.com/lol")="shutdown" Then ProcessClose("notepad.exe") EndIf Works fine. Another question, though; Is there a way I can set the script to be running constantly, and check the webpage every say 60 seconds? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konzine 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Seems this is coming back to me faster than I expected, so I'll just keep documenting it until I run into another problem; For keeping the script looping I am using While 1 WEnd, and using sleep to rerun the script every 60 seconds or so. Right now I have it set to 3 seconds for testing purposes; While 1 If InetRead("http://konzine.com/")="shutdown" Then ProcessClose("notepad.exe") Else MsgBox( 4096, "Test", "This box will time out in 3 seconds", 3) EndIf Sleep(3000) WEnd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konzine 0 Posted October 4, 2011 Seems to be working ok. Since I have basically completed the fundamentals of the script I am now working on features here. This little update checks to see if notepad is running and if not Produces a MessageBox (this could easily be substituted with a sleep.) While 1 If ProcessExists ("notepad.exe") Then If InetRead("http://konzine.com/lol")="shutdown" Then ProcessClose("notepad.exe") EndIf Else MsgBox( 4096, "Test", "This box will time out in 3 seconds", 3) EndIf Sleep(3000) WEnd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
