[flip2405]

Can some one build me an example script.....

What have you tried yet that isn't working ?

Did you also look in the helpfile at:

ProcessExists()

ProcessWaitClose()

You've been a part of the forum long enough to know to post an example of what you've tried.

You could use AdlibEnable() / DllCallBackRegister + SetTimer dllcall / or even a simple While/Wend loop with ProcessExists() nested in an If/Then conditional statement.

If you are bored, look at my process manager. Look at the part where it refreshes the list. If a new process is found or one was closed, it refreshes the list. Then you only have to play with arrays.. shouldn't be hard to do.

-edit-

I thought he mentioned notepad.exe as an example... maybe he wants to do it for any process? He should be clearer...

Sleep(1200)
While 1

You never leave the loop is why you never get a message box.

Use Jdeb's example if it's as simple as you have it here:

ProcessWaitClose("notepad.exe")
MsgBox(64, "Info", "Process no longer exists")
