PGTART Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yesterday i asked about how to check if a script isnt running twice, and i now use _Singleton for that. But i still notice that it sometimes go wrong, as if i start a script while another script is still active it goes wrong too. So how can i check if another script with name xxxxx is still active and not finished ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
water Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 If you compile the other script and run the exe you can use ProcessExists to check.

TheSaint Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Like water says, you can check for the process .... or you can check for a Window Title. You can also use the same thing for your other similar question/post. That said, I'm not 100% sure that I fully understand what you are saying above, so I'm also wondering, if you gave _Singleton a unique term/name .... and whether maybe you are having a clash with same term in different programs? I always use something like my name plus word elements of the program name, separated by dashes. i.e. _Singleton("web-pad-thsaint") Pretty much guarantees I won't have clashes. Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth! Remember, what is not said, can be just as important as what is said. Spoiler What is the Secret Key?
