TaskIsRunning 1.0

[FTPServerTools]

TaskIsRunning is a small app for checking if and how many times a task is running.
The reply will tell how many there are running but the return code will also tell it.
Thus it is easy to use in a batch file.
Example of use:
TaskIsRunning cmd.exe
Example Reply:
2 tasks running
Reply is then 2


batchfile use to start ioftpd.exe only once
@echo off
TaskIsRunning ioftpd.exe
if errorlevel 1 goto exitbatch
start c:\ioftpd\system\ioftpd.exe
:exitbatch


1.0.0: First release

With this you can for example easily start ioftpd once or eggdrop only once....

off the chart, pslist.exe, from the PSTools package, can also report is an app is running or not...

:checkrunning
pslist windrop > nul
if errorlevel 1 goto restart
echo Eggdrop already running...
goto end

Note: on the pslist line, don't use windrop.exe, just windrop, or whatever your .exe is named.

Ah silly me I didnt use it.. Programmers tend to quickly build something instead of hunting for a tool hehe..

[alturismo]

as for some reason pslist from pstools gives no respond

on my system

so im damn happy cause taskisrunning gives me an reply

And make that the contents of bat-file pasted as text. Use vB Code "CODE" (# button). I'm not gonna bother approving tiny bat-file attachments that can be shown as txt.

The .bat I pasted higher should work, since taskisrunning do the same as pslist.

FTPServerTools example should tell u exactly how to use it.

just use the default botchk.bat and use those examples higher to check if the eggdrop is running in the middle of botchk

[epoke]

@echo off
set Systemroot=C:\WINNT
cd /D C:\WINNT\eggdrop
pslist egg > nul
if errorlevel 1 goto restart
echo Eggdrop already running...
goto end

:restart
CD /D C:\WINNT\eggdrop
start hide /r /n 'C:\WINNT\eggdrop\egg.exe -nt eggconf.conf''
echo BOT DOWN (RESTARTiNG iT)
:end
exit 0

wooolF[RM] i think you need set Systemroot=C:\WINNT for pslist to work

My TaskIsRunning is always returning 0. I have a test.bat that looks like this:

@echo off
taskisrunning.exe eggdrop.exe 
if errorlevel 0 echo 0
if errorlevel 2 echo 2
if errorlevel 1 echo 1

and

C:\ioFTPD\Windrop\>test.bat
0

Running 2k Server. Is this a known issue?

[Mouton]

the errorlevel checks must be in order...

if errorlevel 2 echo 2
if errorlevel 1 echo 1
if errorlevel 0 echo 0

Actually, they were at one point, and it still didn't work. I switched to pslist.exe and it worked perfectly. I talked to someone earlier who had the exact opposite problem and switched to taskisrunning.exe.

Well.. since botchk.bat works now, I'm not complaining anymore
