Close Porgram if its "non responding"

[Poksi]

Hi!

I need an script what closes an program when its non responding. but before he close the program it should check every 1 minute if its active and every minute it should activate it per mouseclick or something and then it should close it when its non responding.

can someone write me a little script what can do this?

sorry for my bad english.

what the script should do:

closes a program what is non responding

activate the window/program every 1 minute

hope that someone can help me.

thanks.

best regards

Search the forum for 'Hung Application' this will show you many examples of how closing an application that is hanging.

@guinness: Thank you very much, will do this.

ok find this one:

; finding if an application is hung ; neogia If _NotResponding("TITLE HERE", "TEXT HERE[OPTIONAL]", 1) Then; The last parameter indicates whether you want to close the hung app or not.     MsgBox(0,"", "Hung Application, closing app now.") Else     MsgBox(0,"", "Application running as intended.") EndIf Func _NotResponding($title, $text, $closeIfHung = 0)     $hWnd = WinGetHandle($title, $text)     If $hWnd == "" Then         MsgBox(0,"Error","Could not find window")       Exit    EndIf   $retArr = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "IsHungAppWindow", "hwnd", $hWnd)    If @error == 0 Then         If $retArr[0] == 1 Then             If $closeIfHung Then                ProcessClose(WinGetProcess($title, $text))          EndIf           Return 1        EndIf   Else        Return 0    EndIf EndFunc

but what should i write here: If _NotResponding("TITLE HERE", "TEXT HERE[OPTIONAL]", 1) at the "title here". the title when its frozen or the nromal title?

i mean example "firefox.exe" or "firefox.exe - not responding". and when i want to give this in an loop and check if its not responding every 1 minute then i should write:

While 1

Sleep(6000)

"SCRIPT HERE"

Wend

or?

thanks for help.

regards,

Ok i got it now with a normal batch file, started with autoit . dont need autoit but i use it to start the batchfile

got this info and help from an user from the german autoit forum:

$File = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & 'killtask.bat', 2)
FileWrite($File, 'taskkill /f /fi "status eq not responding"')
FileClose($File)
While Sleep(6000)
    RunWait(@ScriptDir & 'killtask.bat', @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE)
WEnd

is exactly that what i need.

Title is either a partial or full window title, usually... and if the UDF author did his/her homework, you could use window handles (My preferred method) too.

Window titles are mutable. Handles are not.
