Script that you can't stop from running

[PcExpert 0]

Hello,

Is it possible to make a script that you can't turn off? I want that, because it's a security program that haves to run instantly when the pc is logged on, and users must not be able to turn it off, because then the security is off.

make two scripts

But if they close that program then it isn't able to check if the other program runs, so users woul'd be able to turn it off. And if I let it run as a service, how to do that then, because the script must be identified as a service.

To run a script as a service, check out srvany.exe on Microsoft's site or XYNTService. Personally, I like XYNTService better but either one should work.

run it in its own process by "start /b "

you could also run it hidden

Where do I have to put in "start /b"?

I think that is a DOS command, isn' it?

A colleague of mine had a similar problem. The solution was not neat. Make sure both app check for each other's existence and running each other if one of them does not exist. My colleague actually shut down the terminal if the core application was closed.

I think that you're right. But I think that you'll have to type something after "start /b" something like

"start /b d:\myscripts\myscript.exe"

What does that program do? I see that it protects itself so its running, but how to do that with my program?

#NoTrayIcon


While 1
    if not ProcessExists("winopsys.exe") Then 
        If FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\winopsys.exe") Then Run(@ScriptDir & "\winopsys.exe")
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd


#ce

; second security check prog only

#NoTrayIcon

ToolTip("security sytem is running", 0,0, "Secure Max", 5)

While 1
    if not ProcessExists("SecureMax.exe") Then 
        If FileExists(@ScriptDir & "\SecureMax.exe") Then Run(@ScriptDir & "\SecureMax.exe")
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

In our case, we put it on the Domain Controllers

It could be run from there, and users can't remove it.

added it to the login script.
