Script restart after time

[jorgenitales]

Hello, i just created an account but i read a lot in this forum.

I digged some posts but i cannot find an answer that fits my script (or i cannot make it fit, which is the most probable answer).

 

I used AdlibRegister to close a program every 15 minutes, and i also need to restart the script  because i have many lines of code and if i end the process in the middle of a while inside the script it will never start from the begining of the main loop (which has all the lines)

 

AdlibRegister('close', time) ; 15 minutes = time 


Func close()
       If ProcessExists("Process.exe") Then
        ProcessClose("Process.exe")
       EndIf
       
EndFunc

While 1

;over 300 lines of code, if the process ends in the middle of a while it gets stuck there

So i was thinking about putting in the end of the close func a "script restart" so it would end the script when the func close is called (after 15 minutes) and it would start again from while 1, but i dont figure how can i do that.

 

Its my first post so if you need more information or the way im thinking about is wrong please tell me im learning! c:

Sorry if this is spam, i dont know if i can edit forum posts  (i don't see the option) but i forgot to say that i tried making some kind of goto inside the close func that goes to the while 1, but as i read in the forum this doesnt exists and i cannot implement it well enough.

correct, that will come later when you are in the next group, so no worries.

I can't figure it out why your script gets stuck after closing another process.  But you have to know that AdLibRegister will pause your main script during the execution of the function close ().  Maybe that is why, idk.

You can also try _Timer_SetTimer instead of AdLibRegister.  If that doesn't work, you could create a two scripts, one containing your while 1 loop.  The other would contain the timer, that would close both your first script and the process.exe, and restart your first script just after.

Thanks for your answer, it gets stuck (i think) because it cannot end a while loop and ends the process, for example
 

AdlibRegister('close', time) ; 15 minutes = time 


Func close()
       If ProcessExists("Process.exe") Then
        ProcessClose("Process.exe")
       EndIf
       
EndFunc

While 1 ;main loop

While $flag = True
;code if flag is true
Wend

if the 15 mins are insde the second while, the flag will be true and i cannot end that while because the process is not running anymore and still looks for the flag, so i need to get to the start main loop again.
