Detect background process

[XGamerGuide]

I'm trying to detect a background process. I have a main sript and i will mace a MsgBot, when the script crashes. I have a second Script which should scan whether the process is still running. But

ProcessExists

and

FileExists

dont work. These commands scan for a main script or file but not for a background script

You might need to provide more information (script), than this conglomerate post of confusion.

ProcessExist should detect it, not FileExists. If your script is not compiled, you need to look for autoit.exe, not your script name. Basically, when you run task manager, if you can see the process there, then ProcessExists can detect it.

If Not ProcessExists("AutoIt3.exe") Then
   MagBox(0, "Error", "Main Script is close")
EndIf

When I scan for AutoIt3.exe, it is always recognized because the script which scans for the main script is itself an AutoIt3.exe application

Ok change the hidden AutoIt title with AutoItWinSetTitle.  You can then WinGetProcess easily.  See help file and example to understand how to do it.

Another option is to get ProcessList and kill those processes that are not equal to @AutoItPID (current process).

When I use the AutoItWinSetTitle command, the task manager still says AutoIt3.exe and I still can't check the process with ProcessExists

You did not study the examples in help file as I had suggested, did you ?

Anyway, it is not very complicated.

First script must do :

AutoItWinSetTitle("My AutoIt Window")

Second script will do :

Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("My AutoIt Window")
If @error Then Exit
ConsoleWrite ($hWnd & @CRLF)
Local $iPID = WinGetProcess($hWnd)
ConsoleWrite ($iPID & @CRLF)
Local $iRes = ProcessClose ($iPID)
ConsoleWrite ($iRes & "/" & @error & @CRLF)
