Array Specialist required

[GEOSoft]

Here is what has to be done. I had to use a very ugly work-around in Ver2

1st array

$RP has to contain all of the running processes on the system. It probably needs to use ProcessExists but how to get them all into an array?

2nd array

$PP has to contain a list of processes that can not be closed.

This will be hard coded items like SYSTRAY.EXE, RUNDLL32.EXE &etc.

The final outcome is that I use ProcessClose to force all processes that are not listed in $PP to close.

So the problems are, how to best create the array for $RP and how to check $RP against $PP when using ProcessClose.

If you have a problem with the concept, think EndItAll2. I had to use 3rd party software the last time and I don't want to do that since we now have process control in ver.3

Are you still looking to figure this out? I have something very similar scripted using pslist from Sysinternals. Its another 3rd party app I know but I'm only using it to dump out to a txt file. Either way, let me know and I'll dig it up.

Use pv.exe from http://www.teamcti.com/pview/ it is the best for killing, viewing, etc. processes. You can pipe output from the program to a text file and then parse the text file.

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @TempDir & '\pv.exe" -l>>"C:\proclist.txt"', '', @SW_HIDE)

.

Will give you the list of running processes with the commandlines used to launch them.

Jon solved the problem with the process functions. I was doing it by piping the output from TList.exe to a text file and then parsing that. Now I don't even have to include an extra file.
