If you are concerned that the program name may have spaces in it then you need to complicate the code very slightly:. The original code will work fine whether or not other running processes have spaces in their names. The only concern is whether or not the process we are targeting has space s. Keep in mind that if you add an ELSE clause then it will be executed once for every instance of the application that is already running.
There is no guarantee that there be only a single instance running when you run this script. Ideally the targeted application should already mutex itself to prevent multiple instances, but that is a topic for another SO question and is not necessarily applicable to the subject of this question.
I do agree with the "ELSE" comment. The problem with the GOTO-less solution, that is may run the condition part and the ELSE part multiple times, so it is a bit messy as it has to quit the loop anyway. Under Windows you can use Windows Management Instrumentation WMI to ensure that no apps with the specified command line is launched, for example:. TrueY's answer seemed the most elegant solution, however, I had to do some messing around because I didn't understand what exactly was going on.
Let me clear things up to hopefully save some time for the next person. Anyway, I hope that helps. I use PV. However, in Windows Server the line. I don't have a heap of batch scripting experience, so my soulution is to then search for the process name in the search.
More simple usage where it uses the name if the process as an argument the. It should on run also on every windows machine excluding the ones where the WSH is turned off but this is a rare case. This will run on every windows machine from XP and above and does not depend on windows script host settings. I don't know how to do so with built in CMD but if you have grep you can try the following:.
Just mentioning, if your task name is really long then it won't appear in its entirety in the tasklist result, so it might be safer other than localization to check for the opposite. If you have more than one. I'm assuming windows here. So, you'll need to use WMI to get that information. I used the script provided by Matt The only thing I had trouble with was that it wouldn't delete the search.
I expect because I had to cd to another location to start my program. I cd 'd back to where the BAT file and search. So I resolved that by deleting the search.
I needed a solution with a retry. This code will run until the process is found and then kill it. You can set a timeout or anything if you like. You should check the parent process name, see The Code Project article about a.
