Check process - (Moved)

[Schlawiner 0]

Hi

With the following line I read out a process ID based on the path.

$s_Path = StringReplace($serverdir & $absolutedir & $g_c_sServerEXE, "\", "\\")
    $g_sPID = ObjGet("winmgmts:").ExecQuery('SELECT ProcessID FROM Win32_Process WHERE ExecutablePath="' & $s_Path & '"', "WQL", 16).ItemIndex(0).ProcessID

 

If the process does not exist, I get an error message. Which means I have to check beforehand whether the process exists. Does somebody has any idea.

that would be too easy, you can just call up the application. However, there are situations where the same applications run under different paths. If you only want to stop one of them, you need the query using the path via winmgmts.

$colItems = $objWMIService.ExecQuery('SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE ExecutablePath="' & $s_Path & '"', "WQL", $wbemFlagReturnImmediately + $wbemFlagForwardOnly)
    If IsObj($colItems) Then
    ......
    EndIf

right ?

You can also check for the object count.  In some situations, it will create an object with 0 occurrence :

If Not $colItems.count Then Exit MsgBox(0, "", "Not found")

you can even read the execution path. i have done this when writing a simple process finder

 

read the help

Function _WinAPI_GetProcessFileName (autoitscript.com)

Retrieves the fully-qualified path of the executable file for the specified process
