I have problems with task manager

[E1M1]

I have very serious problem I my compiled script name is longer than 15 chars I cant see all the name at taskmanager and processclose() cant kill it.(when it is longer than 15 chars)

For example:

File name is:this_file_has_long_and_difficult_name.exe

I see at task manager:this_file_has_l

information collected from my posts

Maybe it's your Windows version whatsoever it'll be because on my Windows XP Pro SP2 I get much longer process names using the ProcessList() function and it returns the full names.

I use windows xp SP 2 porfessional

I also noticed that if I make exe file in C or C++ then I see full file name in task manager even if it is longer than 15 char.

2) I see in task manager file name that i used when i compiled my file,If i rename my autoit compiled file later and then run it, i still see old name

What does AutoIt see when you use ProcessList()?

I sees 1-st 15 chars from exe file name

What exactly is the question here?

If you want exact question then: Is it possible to make compiled autoit script with name that is longer that 15 chars and see full name in taskmanager

Works as expected here when doing your second scenario so there must be something with your setup/test.

Are you running from a Network share?

Rename your compiled script then restart the computer. It should be correct when you run the compiled file again. Either you have more than one copy running or you have a cache problem with your XP.

Tested this 26X3+4 character long process name compiled using AutoIt and this is the result (it's not a joke lol):

[33]|aaabbbcccdddeeefffggghhhiiijjjkkklllmmmnnnooopppqqqrrrssstttuuuvvvwwwXXXyyyzzz.exe|3636

_ArrayDisplay().

BTW the way to test this is

$Process = "My_App.exe"
$aProcess = ProcessList()
For $i = 1 to Ubound($aProcess)-1
    If StringInStr($aProcess[$i][0], $process) Then MsgBox(4096,"Found Item " & $i, $aProcess[$i][0])
Next

well If I use C compiled exe then I dont have to restart my computer,after rename i see right name in task manager.Only autoit compiled scripts have this problem

Did you test it like I showed? I'm not suggesting that you should restart every time, I'm just trying to start with a clean playing field.

Sorry for waiting..

if my script name is My_App.au3 and I compile it then i can see MsgBox but if script name is other.au3 and i compile it to other.exe and then I rename it to My_App.exe ....I dont see any msgbox.

I can post screen video if needed...

Post a lot more information. After 14 posts and a couple of hours spent by both parties, trivial things are still unknown that should have been in your first post. We do our best answering questions, but guessing for the correct answer when the original question is unclear is very difficult.

1.) What is the name of the AutoIt script you can not see in Task Manager?

2.) What operating system are you running? ( WinXP / Vista, including 32-bit or 64-bit information)

3.) what is the service pack of the operating system you are running?

4.) Can you reproduce the script on another machine?

5.) What are the steps to reproduce this on our machines? What are the exact steps required to get the same results.

Please do your best to accurately answer each question, so that we may accurately answer your question. More information is better.

Read again, he already stated that he is running Window XP Professional Service Pack 2 (not what xx-bit version though).

Please give a sample of your script.

You're right. So I can cross that one out, partially.. It still should have been in the first post. It's not our job to collect information of the person who asks the question, its the job of the person who asks the question to provide as much relevant information as possible.

That is my opinion.

It happens with any script I compile independent of source code , example script MsgBox(1,1,1)

I use 32 bit windows

If that's your complete answer, then the whole story of "Longer than 15 lines" no longer applies?

1.) What is the name of the AutoIt script you can not see in Task Manager?

2.) What operating system are you running? ( WinXP / Vista, including 32-bit or 64-bit information) xp sp2 proffessionl

3.) what is the service pack of the operating system you are running? Sp2

4.) Can you reproduce the script on another machine?Paralells virtual machine

5.) What are the steps to reproduce this on our machines? What are the exact steps required to get the same results.
