mumdigau Posted May 4, 2006 Posted May 4, 2006 Hi, a few days ago ProcessWaitClose stopped functioning. The process is being recognized by ProcessExists, but can't be stopped neither by name nor PID syntax. I thougt this might be related to the process itself, but a small test with notepad.exe showed the same behaviour. I have no idea how to solve that. Perhaps someone out there has some advice for me. Many thanks in advance. mumdigau

Use ProcessClose() for that purpose.

mumdigau Posted May 4, 2006 Author Posted May 4, 2006 Quick help. Many thanks. Indeed, I used ProcessWaitClose to close the process and wait until it's gone. Thought its behaviour is similar to RunWait. When I add ProcessClose just before ProcessWaitClose, the script is functioning again. Still wondering why the script was functioning before without ProcessClose. mumdugau
