$objWMIService. timeout question

[stg68]

Is there a way to set timeout for "Select * from Win32_Processor"? e.g. 20 seconds or other?

Is there a default timeout?

Thank you for your help!

Regards

$objWMIService = objget ("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")

; Check For Processor

$Processor = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Processor")

For $objItem in $Processor

IniWrite("WMItest.ini", "Processor Information", "Name", StringStripWS($objItem.Name, 7))

IniWrite("WMItest.ini", "Processor Information", "Manufacturer", $objItem.Manufacturer)

IniWrite("WMItest.ini", "Processor Information", "Description", $objItem.Description)

IniWrite("WMItest.ini", "Processor Information", "Current ClockSpeed", $objItem.CurrentClockSpeed)

IniWrite("WMItest.ini", "Processor Information", "Processor L2CacheSize", $objItem.L2CacheSize)

not sure if I understand what you mean by "timeout".

do you mean to poll it at 20 second intervals?

if so, then perhaps something like this will help...

HotKeySet('{ESC}', '_Exit')
AdlibRegister('_MyFunction', 20000);ms = 20 seconds

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _MyFunction()
    Local $iniFile = @ScriptDir & '\WMItest.ini'
    Local $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
    Local $Processor = $objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Processor")
    ;
    For $objItem In $Processor
        IniWrite($iniFile, "Processor Information", "Name", StringStripWS($objItem.Name, 7))
        IniWrite($iniFile, "Processor Information", "Manufacturer", $objItem.Manufacturer)
        IniWrite($iniFile, "Processor Information", "Description", $objItem.Description)
        IniWrite($iniFile, "Processor Information", "Current ClockSpeed", $objItem.CurrentClockSpeed)
        IniWrite($iniFile, "Processor Information", "Processor L2CacheSize", $objItem.L2CacheSize)
    Next
EndFunc

Func _Exit()
    AdlibUnRegister('_MyFunction')
    Exit
EndFunc

Thank you. Actually I needed if "Select" query runs more than 20 seconds then exit.

You can't interrupt a running query.

WMI is not very fast but it shouldn't run for 20 seconds to query the processors.

Do you get any error messages when it runs for more than 20 seconds?

I had experience when WMI repository got corrupted. So, in this case the query may hang. So, I am looking for a way to continue my script in case if this happens.

Thank you for your help!

In case the WMI repository got corrupted the query will run forever? If yes then I see no way for you to cancel the query.

Thank you!

WMI, to my knowledge, doesn't support an interrupt or a timeout.

There is a way. It's not very nice. Kill the service. Do so at your own risk, blah, blah.

I've had to do it several times. Mostly because I accidentally ran a function that wants to scan your entire hard drive for the rest of the day with no indication of stopping.

-EDIT-

WMI corrupt - how to reinstall/repair?

-EDIT2-

I guess I should mention that if you stop the service, you will have to kill it's spawn, a second instance.
