how do i make a loop which checks for a prosses to be on?

[CD5]

afterburner is not running in the backaround and i think i know why, it would seem MSIAfterBurner reqires administrator to start , this may not work as i would invision it but could you run the script elevated so it can execute MSIAfterBurner?

Take a look at the RunAs() command. You will find more info there.

Also look at #RequireAdmin

 #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

#RequireAdmin

If IsAdmin() Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The script is running with admin rights.")

While 1
    If ProcessExists("msiafterburner.exe") Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "This program is already running.")
        Sleep(5000)
    Else
        RunAs ( "myusername", "", "mypassword","", "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner\MSIAfterburner.exe")
        MsgBox(0, "", "This program wasn't running, we are starting it up right now.")
        Sleep(5000)
    EndIf
WEnd

heres what i have put together, the script runs in admin but afterburner is still not starting , perhaps you could make sure im useing runAs correctly but im not getting any errors.

Thanks

Try and take out the RunAs function and leave the #RequireAdmin. You are already logged on your admin account hence why you don't need to RunAs any other user.

Also note that once you have the script running, have ONLY one open and if you want to close it, you will have to end it in the task manager because this loop is never ending. I would need to add a piece of code which makes it stop when the program is stopped. I might add a GUI which will be able to exit the whole program.

makeing the RunAs command the run one from before did the trick , everythings perfect

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

#RequireAdmin

If IsAdmin() Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "The script is running with admin rights.")


While 1
    If ProcessExists("msiafterburner.exe") Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "This program is already running.")
        Sleep(5000)
    Else
        Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\msi afterburner\msiafterburner.exe")
        MsgBox(0, "", "This program wasn't running, we are starting it up right now.")
        Sleep(5000)
    EndIf
 WEnd

also figured out how to insert code so here is the working version, thanks for all the help!
