problem with code, noobie!

hey guys

this is wut i have so far

i want it to wait in the background to always check if the process, "server.exe" is running

and if it ISNT running, I want it to Run server.exe!

sounds simple, but I'm new with AutoIT

Sleep(1)

Local $var = 1 ; $var is a string


while ($var = 1)
    
    if (ProcessExists ("server.exe")
        then $var = 1
    Else 
        $var = 2
    
WEnd
    
sleep (1)

Run ("server.exe")

While 1
        If Not ProcessExists("server.exe") Then
                Run("server.exe")
        EndIf
        Sleep(200)
WEnd

Thanks,

but does this always stay on? or after server.exe crashes and this program re-starts it, this program ends?

while 1 = infinite loop

Launch the script and try to kill server.exe process

Bug with 'If not ProcessExists'

Try this :

While 1
    If ProcessExists("server.exe") Then
        ;;
    Else
        Run("server.exe")
        Sleep(500)
    Endif

ProcessExists returns 0 if the process does not exist since there is no PID.
