ProcessList()?

I'm making a script which sends keys to a command prompt window. I want to insert a condition: the keys will be send only when cmd.exe is present in Task Manager.

Example...

While 1
    If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then
        ; do stuff
        MsgBox(4096, "Test", "The cmd.exe process is running     ", 3)
    EndIf
    Sleep(20)
WEnd

8)

Hello! I'm back again with one more wish.

Here is a part of my code:

CODE

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then

WinActivate("cmd")

WinWaitActive("cmd")

While 1

Send("{ESC}")

ControlSend ("cmd","","",$callnumber[1] & "{Enter}")

Sleep ($timer[1])

WEnd

Else

TrayTip("Command prompt inactive", "Please launch the application", 0, 1)

EndIf

Sleep(7000)

The problem is ,because $timer (which will read from a txt file) is a very high value (like 30 minutes=1800000miliseconds) I must wait all this period until loop will start again. If in the meantime the process "cmd.exe" is started, the script will still wait for this counter. I want to keep the $timer counter and to modify somehow the code that if process "cmd.exe" is started (let's say manually) the script will start to loop from beginning.

I hope I'm clear in my state above, sorry because I'm not native english.

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then

WinActivate("cmd")

WinWaitActive("cmd")

While 1

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then Exitloop

Send("{ESC}")

ControlSend ("cmd","","",$callnumber[1] & "{Enter}")

Sleep ($timer[1])

WEnd

Else

TrayTip("Command prompt inactive", "Please launch the application", 0, 1)

EndIf

Sleep(7000)

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then

WinActivate("cmd")

WinWaitActive("cmd")

While 1

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then Exitloop

Send("{ESC}")

ControlSend ("cmd","","",$callnumber[1] & "{Enter}")

Sleep ($timer[1])

WEnd

Else

TrayTip("Command prompt inactive", "Please launch the application", 0, 1)

EndIf

Sleep(7000)

Hi !

It's is not ok. It is OK if this command would exist :

CODE

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then

WinActivate("cmd")

WinWaitActive("cmd")

While 1

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then Exitloop

Send("{ESC}")

ControlSend ("cmd","","",$callnumber[1] & "{Enter}")

If ProcessNOTExists("cmd.exe") Then Exitloop

Sleep ($timer[1])

WEnd

Else

TrayTip("Command prompt inactive", "Please launch the application", 0, 1)

EndIf

Sleep(7000)

Ah it was a miss wording in your phrasing

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then
WinActivate("cmd")
WinWaitActive("cmd")

While 1
Send("{ESC}")
ControlSend ("cmd","","",$callnumber[1] & "{Enter}")
If not ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then Exitloop
Sleep ($timer[1])
WEnd

Else
TrayTip("Command prompt inactive", "Please launch the application", 0, 1)
EndIf
Sleep(7000)

and to give you a "why didn't I think of that?" moment

If ProcessExists("cmd.exe") Then 
else
Exitloop
endif
