Check for running process?

[skribb]

Is it possible to check for running process by name?

I.e something like; if banana.exe is running change eg.result to "yes" else eg.result is "no"


Could it be possible bwith Ptython? I think I might need to import some libraries in that case, if EG supports that!

If the process has a window (even if hidden) you can use "Action\Window\Find a Window". You can also use "Task create/Switch Events" or "Process watcher" plugins to get events when a program gets started/stopped or gets in/out of focus.

That's true, I guess I could just make a variable that keeps track of the process' status.

psutil library was included in EventGhost 4.0.1.r1722.

psutil is a cross-platform library for retrieving information onrunning processes and system utilization (CPU, memory, disks, network)in Python.

Sweet. I should have checked first before posting but thanks for the info, I could definitely use psutil lib
