Autoit scripts default priority

[Baritonomarchetto]

Hi all,

what's the default priority on autoit script not defining "ProcessSetPriority" ? Normal (2)?

Also: i want to change the priority of the script itslef: how can i detect the "self ID" of my script?

Thanks

PS: notice that in the online manual there's a broken link to "_ProcessGetPriority"

Baritonomarchetto,

from the helpfile:

@AutoItPID         PID of the process in which the script is running.

Thanks, I hadn't tought about looking at macros

I am trying to change the priority loading a value from a ".ini" with a script like:

#include <Process.au3>

Local $priority= IniRead(".celler.ini", "misc", "priority", "0")

ProcessSetPriority("celler.au3", $priority)

$i_Priority_Level = _ProcessGetPriority(@AutoItPID)
MsgBox(0, "AutoIt Script", "Should be 0: " & $i_Priority_Level)

... but it always returns the default value (2), whatever i define in the "iniRead" string or ".ini" file ... what could be wrong with it?

Thanks

By default all programs run as normal priority.

You can programatically change that, but it is not recommended to go higher than "high" (that means real-time), because you're going to get your PC unresponsive.

Thanks, i know that toying with priority levels is not recommended . May i ask you to take a look at the little script i wrote in the previous post for "priority check/change"?

Use the @AutoItPID macro in both function calls: ProcessSetPriority and _ProcessGetPriority

That solved the problem! Thanks!
