How to stop runwait

Hi,

maybe ablibEnable to check a time out and count it up, or using a Hotkey could help.

So long,

How to stop runwait

How about killing the process that's running?

[jvanegmond 300]

use Run and make it Wait in your custom loop.

yes

[PaulIA 1]

yes

Uh... Yes what?

AdlibEnable("TimeOut", 3000)

RunWait("NotePad.exe")

Func TimeOut()
  $PID = ProcessExists("notepad.exe")
  If $PID Then ProcessClose($PID)
EndFunc

Or this way (is a bit saver...)

$pid = Run("NotePad.exe")
Sleep(3000)
If ProcessExists($pid) Then ProcessClose($PID)

[/dev/null 1]

Uh... Yes what?

AdlibEnable("TimeOut", 3000)

RunWait("NotePad.exe")

Func TimeOut()
  $PID = ProcessExists("notepad.exe")
  If $PID Then ProcessClose($PID)
EndFunc

That will probably kill the wrong notepad process, if there are more instances of it. Better use WMI to get the process IDs of all notepad.exe and the corresponding parent process IDs. Then compare the AutoIT PID with the parent process id. Only if those match, you know you've found the right process. You need to check that only once in the Adlib function (implement it via a global flag). Then check if the Process exists for a specified amount of time. If necessary kill it, as you've shown above.

It was just an example. I figured if he can't crawl, teaching him to run is fairly futile.
