jefhal Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Try this from the help file: If ProcessExists("notepad.exe") Then MsgBox(0, "Example", "Notepad is running.") ... EndIf ...by the way, it's pronounced: "JIF"... Bob Berry --- inventor of the GIF format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kandie Man Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) If the program is an AutoIt script use _Singleton to prevent multiple instances. - The Kandie Man ;-) Edited May 30, 2007 by The Kandie Man "So man has sown the wind and reaped the world. Perhaps in the next few hours there will no remembrance of the past and no hope for the future that might have been." & _"All the works of man will be consumed in the great fire after which he was created." & _"And if there is a future for man, insensitive as he is, proud and defiant in his pursuit of power, let him resolve to live it lovingly, for he knows well how to do so." & _"Then he may say once more, 'Truly the light is sweet, and what a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun.'" - The Day the Earth Caught Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 This code demonstrates how to catch the 2nd process by the use of PID. ; Instance 1 Run('notepad.exe') ProcessWait('notepad.exe') $pid = ProcessExists('notepad.exe') MsgBox(0, '1', $pid) ; Instance 2 Run('notepad.exe') Sleep(1000) $list = ProcessList('notepad.exe') If Not @error Then For $i = 1 To $list[0][0] If $list[$i][1] <> $pid Then MsgBox(0, '2', $list[$i][1]) ProcessClose($list[$i][1]) EndIf Next EndIf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
