I need to create a program that checks to see if a certain process is running, but I need to check it at a predetermined interval, such as every 10 seconds. I also need it to relaunch the program if it disappears/crashes. I have no idea where to start, I'm assuming I'd have to use a timer and write a method that checks for this process and then another method to simply launch it.
View 3 RepliesI just need to check whether a process is running. But I have absolutely no idea where to start!
View 10 RepliesI'd like to make my app check for a running process, I know how to make it check for a running process by its name but not by its location.
It would be extremely helpful if someone could solve this issue for me.
This is my
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Dim procs() As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("samp-server")
If procs.Length > 0 Then

Its supposed to start the samp-server.exe if it closes but it doesn't?
I'm developing Applications in VB.NET 2008.
I have MDI Parent Form and i'm going load all form as MDI child. Here i'm going to give option to "Close All" toolstripbutton in top of MDI Parent to close All mdi child forms.
Now i would like to check that On click of Close All Toolstripbutton , i have to close all mdi child form but except those form is on process, example, I have opened/Loaded 5 MDI child forms within MDI Parent Form.
Child forms are ( just for example ) ,
1. Customer details Form
2. Item Details Form
3. Import Orders Form
4. Stock Details Form
5. Production Entry Form
Here 3.Import Orders form is importing from Excel with 5000 records and 4. Stock details form exporting to excel.
So now if i click "Close All" button then i have close only Idle form i.e 1,2 and 5 but i should not close 3 and 4 since its on some process.
So Is there any .NET option to check that form in process/idle or do I have to check manually by having any Flags ?
I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

i am trying to write a little program that checks for a process and kills is.here is the
Dim p As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("Cheat Engine")(0)
p.CloseMainWindow()[code]...
My problem is it�s woking ,yes if the programm ,,Cheat Engine" is running the process is getting killed.But if the program is not running my program crashes.
Trying to create a button that when clicked will check to see if a certain process image is running and if that process is running give the process focus. If the process is not running then start the application.
View 9 RepliesI need my problem to check if internet explorer 8 is running a website.I'll be more specific. When internet explorer 8 navigates to [URL], an event should be triggered, like pressing a button.The "If" statement is ofcorse needed.

View 5 RepliesI am almost sure this isn't possible but it's worth an ask... We have a .NET DLL that is being called from our VB6 application. The VB6 app runs in a 32 bit process so the DLL runs in the same process (it's compiled as any cpu) Therefore when I do my ODBC Database access in the DLL is will only use a 32 bit driver, as this is what it thinks it needs (for the record the DB is Pervasive PSQL)
My problem arises when the application runs on a 64 bit machine (when only the 64 bit ODBC driver is installed) as it can't find a suitable driver to use. So is there a way to force the .NET DLL to run in a 64 bit process (compiling as x64 doesn't work because register for COM Interop is not allowed) This isn't necessarily an issue at this point in time because I can install the 32 bit driver, but at some point in the future I can imagine that 32 bit driver may not be available so I will be up the proverbial creek.
how to run a process as a child process?
I'm using this code to launch a process:
Dim appdirect As String = Application.ExecutablePath
appdirect = appdirect.Replace("SIS.EXE", "")
appdirect = appdirect.Replace("SIS.exe", "")
[Code]....
It runs the process but I need it to run as a child process of SIS.exe.
I have an external (3rd party) EXE which I start from my app, which reads data from the user and creates a corresponding registry key with the information, then exits. I then need to read those registry values from my main application.
I start the app with:
Process.Start(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Temp & "GatherInfo.exe")
I need to read those registry values AFTER that EXE has quit - so I know they've been created. At the moment I'm just making my main app sleep after that process has been started:
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)
And then checking for the reg values. I'm worried this won't work for different users however, as the speed of the computer will determine how long the process takes to start and exit.
For my Visual BASIC class we were asked to create a project to compute your checking account balance.Included in the project should be three radio buttons (deposit,check, and service charge), one text box (the amount),and a read only text box which will show the new balance. The balance should be calculated by adding deposits and subtracting checks and service charges; Each of these must return an updated balance. If there is not enough money to cover a check,do not deduct the check amount, but charge a service charge of ten dollars. The problem I have continually run into is keeping a running balance without using do or for loops. Here is a copy of the code i have come up with which will display only what I enter into the amount text box and put it into the balance read only text box; it will not accumulate.
Code:
Private DepositTotalDecimal, CheckTotalDecimal, ServiceChargeTotalDecimal, BalanceDecimal, AmountDecimal As Decimal
Private DepositCountInteger, CheckCountInteger, ServiceChargeCountInteger As Integer
Private Sub PrintButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PrintButton.Click[code]....

I am trying to create a small application that will tell me if a website is up and running. This application will monitor if the site goes down. The problem is that there are several websites sharing the same IP address, and I cannot use ping to monitor it for the same reason. I do not know what type of code can I use to query the availability of the website. I read about webRequest and webResponse but I do not know how to get the response information that will tell me if the site is up or down. The code should be able to tell if a site like "mundo.reporters.com is accessible. That is the only thing.information to point to a potential solution will be more than welcomed.
The server is hosting 8 websites that share the same ip address, and I need to constantly monitor if they are functional.

I wrote code for checking whether a particular process (Outlook.exe, in my case) is running or not. It is working fine when the Outlook window is open or minimized.

View 2 RepliesA long time ago, on a PC far, far away from Windows, one MS-DOS program (the father) could run / execute / spawn another MS-DOS program (the son). When the son terminated, it could set a return code which could certainly be interrogated by an MS-DOS batch program or, I think, by any father program that invoked it (depending on the language in which that program was written). I have a small utilility which I want to invoke from my application, and, since that utility sets a return code, I would like to interrogate it in my application when the utility terminates. I've looked through the MSDN Library but could not find anything that seemed to cover this situation. Is there a way to do this in Visual Basic 2008 Express

I hope the title gives a good description, i have read the forum posting tips at the top. Ive just joined the community and nice to meet you all. Anyways, I am trying to create a vb.net application for which it will check if a process is running in task manager, and if this process or processes are running to end a different process. Let me give you an example,
If processA, ProcessB is running then END ProcessC. If however ProcessA, and ProcessB are not running then ProcessC can stay active. I have started the project and am able to kill the processes etc. This is shown below.

But sometimes it already ended before I even get to this line of code, so it throws an exception that the process is not running. I don't want to catch this using a try catch, but using a if statement. How can I do this?
If Process.GetProcessByID(processID).IsRunning = true then
something like that...
