Process not getting killed via ProcessClose()

[Iraj]

Hi team,

Greetings!

 

I need some assistance in closing Y process once X process is closed.

I have written below script :

If ProcessExists("notepad.exe") Then
   ShellExecute("C:\Progra~1\Work\dll\bin\player.exe","args")
Else
   ProcessClose("player.exe")
EndIf

The problem is it is not going to Else part, that's why the process is not getting closing.

Need some guidance. Thank you.

As long as the process "notepad.exe" still exists, the Else part cannot be executed either.

When I am closing notepad manually, the player.exe should be closing. I need that.

Can you assist?

If ProcessExists('notepad.exe') Then
    ShellExecute('calc.exe')
    Do
        Sleep(10)
    Until ProcessExists('notepad.exe') = 0
    ProcessClose('calc.exe')
EndIf

This example uses Notepad and Calculator. Is this what you're looking for?

Run Notepad and then run the script.

When you close Notepad the Calculator will also be closed. You could also wrap this in a While loop and check if the calculator process exists after checking if Notepad exists. This would make it so whenever Notepad is open, if the Calculator isn't open then it'll open it.
