general question can't find a clear answer.

hi,

I wrote down a script using the "while 1" statement for endless loop, so the script process will run allways in the background. I used the windows Task Manager processes status to see how much mem the scripts takes and from the CPU precent.

the computer the script should ran on, has many ActiveExe installed also, and other processes running in the background.

should I trust the Windows task manager info about the consumption from AutoIt script usage, did anyone had expirance with While statement causing recrusion?

the windows task manager shows 7140 under my autoit process where Mem usage is. and CPU is allways 00 there in the first loop, all other loops shows the 8404 and it stays that way for 10 loops, I didn't check anymore because it became stable....

Uhmm... was there an AutoIt question in there?

well, I was asking if anyone used "while 1" for endless loop, and can share expiriance with me if it was OK ? or do you have another way of doing endless loops.

Got it. While/WEnd or Do/Until should be able to loop indefinitely without problems. Now the code you are running inside those loops could be an issue, but it won't come from the loops themselves.
