While 1 ;add this line if you want autoit to start and stop the program every 5 seconds.
If MsgBox(4, "Close Program?", "Are you sure you want to exit the program?") = 6 Then 
ProcessClose("process.exe")
Else
;do nothing
ContinueLoop ;add this line if you want autoit to start and stop the program every 5 seconds.
EndIf 

Sleep(5000)
Run("C:\path\program.exe")
Sleep(5000)
WEnd ;add this line if you want autoit to start and stop the program every 5 seconds.

This will make autoit ask to stop the program every 5 seconds with the marked lines, or every time the autoit program is started, without. I hope this answers your question.

You want the whole script to run once??

Try

If MsgBox(4, "program.exe", "Are you sure you want to exit the program?") = 6 Then
ProcessClose("program.exe")
ProcessWaitClose("program.exe")
Sleep(5000)
Run("C:\path\program.exe")
EndIF

Edit: Is this what you mean?

Hi thanq soo much for the quick reply

Everything is perfect but 1 problem here, the popup is program based not the 1 we created. Here the popup ill automatically shown up when the program closes manually also. and i dont want to click yes in popup it should clicked automatically.

Example I need to close and run yahoomessenger "with popup accepting as yes while closing"

If MsgBox(4, "YahooMessenger.exe", "Are you sure you want to exit Yahoo!Messenger?") = 6 Then

ProcessClose("YahooMessenger.exe")

Exit

Else

;do nothing

Sleep(5000)

Run("C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\YahooMessenger.exe")

Exit

EndIF

Ah. I understand. What you are saying is that the other program is what asks if you are sure. In that case, do something like this instead of the message box.

WinActivate("Exit Yahoo! Messenger?", "Are you sure you want to exit?") ;activate the popup
Send("y"); send the "y" key, this is like clicking yes.
Sleep(5000)
Run("C:\path\program.exe")

Try WinExists() and maybe Send() for the response.
