Creating an application killer. Need some help please


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have the following code :

#include <Array.au3>

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

;Defining variables

Dim $runArray[1]

Dim $prcArray[1]

Dim $pid

$varappn = IniReadSectionNames( "Apps.ini" )

;Filling Array

For $i = 1 to $varappn[0]

_ArrayAdd ( $runArray, IniRead ( "Apps.ini", $varappn[$i], "Exe", "" ))

Next

_ArrayDelete ( $runArray, 0 )

_ArrayDisplay ( $runArray, "Test" )

$list = ProcessList ()

For $i1 = 1 to $list[0][0]

_ArrayAdd ( $prcArray, $list[$i1][0] )

Next

_ArrayDelete ( $prcArray, 0 )

_ArrayDelete ( $prcArray, 0 )

_ArrayDelete ( $prcArray, 0 )

_ArrayDisplay ( $prcArray, "Test" )

;While 1

;$pid = _ArraySearch ( $runArray, "notepad.exe" )

; MsgBox ( 4096, "Test", $pid )

; Exit

;ProcessClose ( $pid )

;WEnd

As you can see there are two Array's being created the runArray and the prcArray. The ini file looks like this.

[Notepad]

Exe=notpad.exe

[Calc]

Exe=calc.exe

What I'm trying to make, is an script that closes programs with the name of the executable. First it looks in the ini file. Second it creates an array with running processes. If one or more of the exe's that are in the ini file are running the have to be killed. This has to be run in a loop so that he checks every time.

My problem is how can I use the results of runArray to kill processes that where found in the prcArray ?

Alright. First off, setup your ini file so all the applications you want to kill are under ONE section, not each their own:

[Applications]Exe=notepad.exe

Exe=calc.exe

Then, you dont need to ArraySearch or cross-compare arrays of currently running processes. Instead, I think it is better to simply loop through the ones in your ini and run a "ProcessExists()" on them.

HotKeySet("{Esc}", "_Quit")

$runArray = IniReadSection("Apps.ini", "Applications") ; Read entire Applications section to an array
If Not IsArray($runArray) Then ; If nothing is returned to the array, quit program
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "There are no applications listed in the ini!")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
    For $i = 1 To UBound($runArray) - 1 ; Loop through each app in the array, close if it exists
        If ProcessExists($runArray[$i][1]) Then ProcessClose($runArray[$i][1])
    Next
    Sleep(250)
WEnd

Func _Quit()
    Exit
EndFunc

Np, hope it helps. You were just making it a little too hard on yourself.

Error: "There are no applications listed in the ini!"

What is an ini, and can I change it?

I am looking for a script that will automatically kill any non-windows processes (open programs and everything in the system tray) that are currently running to free up cpu &/or memory for heavy applications or watching videos.

Anyone who does not wonder is either omniscient or foolish.
