skyhigh Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I am working on a script. This script operates on a program. What happens if the program crashes? The script stops. For this reason I have to work a secondary script out whose task is to check if the program runs. The problem is, I need to add also a comand in the secondary script that restarts the primary script. How can I do it? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViciousXUSMC Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 While Loop + If ProcessExists() Are your scripts compiled or being run as .au3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scripts run as .au3. I have already put a ProcessExists() at each Case, but it does not always work. I need to always check if firefox.exe exists Here an example of the main script: expandcollapse popup#include <ff.au3> _FFStart() While @Hour < 16 Global $aURLS[6] $aURLS[1] = "www.youtube.com" ; list of youtube, vimeo, etc videos $aURLS[2] = "www.yahoo.com" $aURLS[3] = "www.vimeo.com" $aURLS[4] = "www.dailymotion.com" $aURLS[5] = "www.twitch.tv" $x = Random(1, 5, 1) _FFTabAdd($aURLS[$x], True, True) WinWaitActive("Tab",0,10) Sleep(5 * 1000) _FFTabClose("0", "index") Sleep(5000) Select Case $x = 1 If Not ProcessExists("firefox.exe") Then _FFStart("www.youtube.com") Sleep(15 * 1000) Case $x = 2 If Not ProcessExists("firefox.exe") Then _FFStart("www.yahoo.com") Sleep(15 * 1000) EndSelect Wend I'll now try to explain myself a little better: - The script is able to run thanks to ff.au3 UDFs - The script must be as indipendent as possible That is the reason why it is necessary to write on secondary scripts that are able to react if something happens, whenever it happens. If Firefox crashes I get the following lines in the log: __FFWaitForRepl ==> MozRepl Exception: !!! [Exception... "Failure" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" _FFCmd ==> Error return value .__FFSend ==> Error TCPSend / TCPRecv: TCPSend: try{FFau3.tmp=window.getBrowser().webProgress;FFau3.tmp.isLoadingDocument && FFau3.tmp.busyFlags ? false: true;}catch(e){'_FFCmd_Err';}; Even if Firefox restarts the error continues. I thought I could solve using some _FFCmd input. Since I created a thread and nobody could help me, a better idea was born: to write a secondary script to check if the firefox crash report appears, then restart not FF but the script itself And here I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoBert Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 This can't be your complete mainscript and the restartscript is totaly obselet. I think you are downloading videos from the URL's, so more RAM could be usefull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyhigh Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 The script is mean to stream videos from different sites, I do not need to download them. The main script's structure is the one I posted, I only forgot the _FFQuit at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
