How to detect process exit?

[Jani]

Hello,

How I can detect when a process exits? The process doesn't have any windows Task.Destroyed isn't an option (afaik).

Search on this forum and you can find a plugin called Process Watcher.

There is a checkbox in the "start application" action to wait for the specified program to finish before continuing. However using that feature will block EG from processing events while it's waiting.


If you wanted to you could also work around the problem with a small batch file. The following command will wait for someprogram.exe to finish before the second statement (which in this case triggers an event in EG).

Code: Select all

start /wait someprgorgam.exe && "c:\Program Files\EventGhost\EventGhost.exe" -e ProgramFinished

or if you want to launch directly from eg (with start application action) or a windows shortcut.

Code: Select all

cmd.exe /c start /wait someprgorgam.exe && "c:\Program Files\EventGhost\EventGhost.exe" -e ProgramFinished

Yes, it's ugly, but this kind of approach should work just fine for batch commands that just take a while to run.

Win7 . This batch job starts EventGhost which starts MediaMonkey. Everything runs fine but when I close MM, the cmd window closes but EG doesn't close. I'm stuck. What am I doing wrong? Here's my batch job.

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\
Start EventGhost\EventGhost.exe -hide -configdir N:\Program Info\EventGhost for MediaMonkey
cd C:\
start /wait "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\Mediamonkey.exe" && "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\EventGhost.exe" -e ProgramFinished
cls
exit

Is there a way to not only look at a process, but look at what the title bar says?
