still need help

[Starter]

If else is giving me some problems and exiting programs

it would seem to me you just type exit at the end to close a process but this doesnt work

also timing an event to run say once a day if someone could post that function that would help thanks

[weaponx]

Exit will end the script, not a process that you've run.

See

ProcessExists()

ProcessClose()

ProcessWaitClose()

[covaks]

It's hard to know what you are talking about if you don't post any sample code. To run something once a day, a scheduled task is probably the easiest way to go. Or you could try something like this:

While 1
    If @Hour = 15 AND @Min = 15 Then
        msgbox(1,"","Time is " & @Hour & ":" & @Min)
        Exit
    EndIf
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Will popup the message box at 3:15 PM

am I even close....my logic is good just dont have the sytax down yet...Thanks for the help

[weaponx]

ProcessClose() needs the name of the executable, "ccleaner.exe".

[GEOSoft]

ProcessClose() needs the name of the executable, "ccleaner.exe".

Or you could use

$Pid = WinGetProcess("Piriform CCleaner")
ProcessClose($Pid)

[Starter]

Or you could use

$Pid = WinGetProcess("Piriform CCleaner")
ProcessClose($Pid)

did some more digging and if you

open cmd.exe and type

C:\ at 12:00pm (enter program to run)

will schedule .au3 file

maybe create a batch file and bind with iexpress

thanks for everyones help will be back with some scripts

I'm obligated to do this, since people like to make so much extra work for themselves.

If you do RunWait("ccleaner.exe /auto"), it will clean everything silently.

Not sure that it retains options when you do that and CCleaner can be a dangerous process. It's well known for destroying the Recycle Bin.

Yeah it cleans the cookies and such but doesnt to the whole process i.e. the registry files don't get cleaned

No but my computer will function better if I don't take risks with the software I run. CCleaner isn't the only scrubber that causes issues BTW. There are many more. I've spent years solving problems created by all of them.

From the OP "Yeah it cleans the cookies and such but doesnt to the whole process i.e. the registry files don't get cleaned".

He wants it to clean the registry so he must be a risk taker.

[Starter]

guess im confused what you guys are talking about. I have cleaned (both the cookies and the reg on hundreds of computers)

maybe I am a neophyte but whats the big deal if you create a backup.

Usually if i'm using CCleaner its on a hosed system anyways.

Even worse than wiping out your RB. When are people ever going to learn that the registry does not need cleaning, at least not since the 9x days. Registry cleaning very often spells disaster for an MS Office installation.
