Restarting a compiled script ?!

[Armand]

by far i'm using a somewhat stupid mathode:

- i'm making the script create a "RestartMyAPP.bat" File with the commands to wait 5 secs and start my app again.

- then i've added it to start without waiting in the ONEXIT func

any normal way to make it ?!

If $RestartAPP = 1 Then
        $file = FileOpen(@TempDir & "\RestartMyAPP.bat", 1)
        FileWriteLine($file, "ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul")
        FileWriteLine($file, @ScriptFullPath)
        FileClose($file)
        ShellExecute("RestartMyAPP.bat", "", @TempDir, "open", @SW_HIDE)
    EndIf

Hi,

If Not $CMDLINE[0] Then
    If UBound(ProcessList(@ScriptName)) > 2 Then Exit
ElseIf $CMDLINE[1] <> '/restart' Then
    Exit
EndIf

;...
;...
;...

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $buttonGO
            Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & @ScriptFullPath & '" /restart')
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

So long,

It sounds like you are starting a second instance of your script in the ONEXIT function. Then the first instance exits. If you know you need to have the script running then why allow the first instance to exit? Why not just reinitialise all the conditions and variables and start it over from the top? It sounds like you need to put your code inside a never ending loop. Have I missed something?

Well...

I want my script to check for updates if there are some then it shoul'd download them and replace the running compiled script with the ones downloaded - so far so good ! but then, as the script finishes the download it seems like it's continuing with the NEW SCRIPT from the same place it stoped in the OLD SCRIPT, so maybe i do need to just send it to the start...

but how do i do that ?! (should i insert the entire script into a func and then just call it ?!)

@Xenobiologist

what does your script do man ?!

Maybe this will help :

If $RestartAPP = 1 Then
        $file = FileOpen(@TempDir & "\RestartMyAPP.bat", 1)
        FileWriteLine($file, "ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul")
        FileWriteLine($file, @ScriptFullPath)
        FileClose($file)
        ShellExecute("RestartMyAPP.bat", "", @TempDir, "open", @SW_HIDE)
    EndIf

Run(@ScriptFullPath)
