Bea Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hallo i try to make a script for my VServer, which starts anothr script for an specific time. For example if the System hits 8:00 it starts the script, if the script hist 16:00 its stops. This all must be in a loop, but the problem is now the script opens not once, it opens a hundret times when the timer hits 8:00 :S pls help a gril :) #include <Date.au3> While 1 If _NowTime(5) = "17:29:00" Then Run("notepad.exe") EndIf If _NowTime(5) = "17:30:00" Then ProcessClose("notepad.exe") EndIf WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dionysis Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Time is counted in milliseconds, so "if" is true from 17:29:00.000 to 17:29:00.999, if each command takes 0.1 sec (totally arbitrary number) it can easily start ~10 notepad.exe instances. To solve this make sure it's true only once, with something like #include <Date.au3> $running = False While 1 If _NowTime(5) = "17:29:00" And Not $running Then Run("notepad.exe") $running = True EndIf If _NowTime(5) = "17:30:00" And $running Then ProcessClose("notepad.exe") $running = False EndIf WEnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
