Allow only one instance of a process to run

[Doppio]

How can this code be modified to allow only one instance of Iexplorer to Run.

While 1

If ProcessExists('IExplorer.exe') Then

Do

ProcessClose('IExplorer.exe')

Until Not ProcessExists('IExplorer.exe')

EndIf

Sleep(10)

WEnd

Thank you

look at ProcessList

Do you know the PID of the one you want to keep? If so gafrosts suggestion would be fine. If not, you'll never know which one you are killing.

This is what I got so far

#NoTrayIcon

While 1

$list = ProcessList('IExplorer.exe')

$1 = "IExplorer.exe"

If $list [0][0] > 1 Then

ProcessClose('IExplorer.exe')

EndIf

Sleep(10)

WEnd

So far it works. Do you see anything that can be improved?

if not thank you for your input.

Yes, don't define $1. It's not used.

#NoTrayIcon

While 1
$list = ProcessList('IExplorer.exe')
If $list [0][0] > 1 Then
ProcessClose('IExplorer.exe')
EndIf
Sleep(10)
WEnd

Leftover from my tests. thank you.

So you don't care which instance of IE is closed, just that there is always one?
