Kill

Hello =)

Ok... I want autoit to run in backround, if a program doesn't answer (for 20 seconds) autoit kills the program..

So... you want a loop: See While/WEnd in the help file.

Then... you want a 20 second timer: See TimerInit() and TimerDiff() in the help file.

And... you want to kill a program: See WinClose() and ProcessClose() in the help file.

There is no working definition of "program doesn't answer", so that's as far as you get...

:)

  • Go to Run and enter Regedit.
  • Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
  • Here you will find a string called as Auto End Task, set its value to 1 by double clicking it. This means any hung program will be killed instantaneously.
  • Now suppose if you want to give some time, as some programs come back to normal in few minutes, Find a key called as WaitToKillAppTimeout, change the value to the value you want. You have to enter value in milliseconds though.

hmm the value is already set to 1k ms (wait to kill app timeout).. takes more time than that before any program is killed ;/
