Process kill loop

[Queener]

I want to loop kill the process if it exist anytime when windows is up and running.

Here's what I have:

$file = FileOpen("\\server-pc\mystuff$\Others\ListOfProcess\killallprocesses.txt", 0)

Kill()

Func Kill()

While 1
    $line = FileReadLine($file)
    If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop
    $PID = ProcessExists($line)
    ConsoleWrite ( "$line : " & $line & @Crlf )
    If $PID then ProcessClose($line)
Wend

Return

EndFunc

Now the problem is; once it reach the end of the text file line; it exitloop which the script stops.

Instead of using FileReadLine, use FileReadToArray and loop through the array instead, then you can just keep it in an endless loop.

$file = FileOpen("\\server-pc\mystuff$\Others\ListOfProcess\killallprocesses.txt", 0)

Kill()

Func Kill()
    $aFile = FileReadToArray($file)

    While 1
        For $Loop = 0 To UBound($aFile)
            $PID = ProcessExists($aFile[$Loop])
            ConsoleWrite("$aFile[" & $Loop & "] : " & $aFile[$Loop] & @CRLF)
            If $PID Then ProcessClose($aFile[$Loop])
        Next
    WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Kill

I'm getting

ERROR: FileReadToArray(): undefined function

It's in the latest version of AutoIt, as stated in my signature I only post code valid in what's currently available.

I got win 7 and yet has the latest version of autoit. Windows is 64-bit; not sure if that affects.

I said the latest version of AutoIt, the version of Windows doesn't matter.

Sorry if I'm intruding, but what's wrong with simplicity?

While 1
  If ProcessExists (process.exe) Then
    ProcessClose (process.exe)
  EndIf
Sleep (100)
WEnd

I use this with an annoying "End Process" window I sometimes experience.

asianqueen,

You need to download the latest version of autoit. However, try using _FileReadToArray() and see if that works.

[Gianni]

ok what allSystemsGo said, plus do not forget the  #include <File.au3> at beginning of your script

You did not read the OP. AsianQueen is looking to loop through an array of processes, and close them if active.

Got the latest version of autoit.

$aFile[0] : GoogleUpdateSetup.exe
$aFile[1] : GoogleUpdate.exe
$aFile[2] : GoogleToolBarSetup[1].exe
"C:\Users\aq\Desktop\test.au3" (18) : ==> Array variable has incorrect number of subscripts or subscript dimension range exceeded.:
$PID = ProcessExists($aFile[$Loop])
$PID = ProcessExists(^ ERROR

asianqueen,

If you run the code above, what error do you get, if any?

[Queener]

Got it!!!

Kill()

Func Kill()

$aFile = FileReadToArray($file)

While 1
Local $list = Processlist()
For $i = 1 to $list[0][0]


        For $Loop = 0 To UBound($aFile) - 1
            $PID = ProcessExists($aFile[$Loop])
            ConsoleWrite("$aFile[" & $Loop & "] : " & $aFile[$Loop] & @CRLF)
            if StringRegExp($list[$i][0], $aFile[$Loop] & '.*$') then ProcessClose($List[$i][0])
    ;If $PID Then ProcessClose($aFile[$Loop])
Next
Next
WEnd
EndFunc   ;==>Kill

Thanks to everyone here. This is something I'm looking for. Very much appreciated.
