Post ProcessList Windows 2008 Reply with quote
The ProcessList function in JAL seems to return incomplete results on a Windows 2008 box as compared to Windows XP machine.

Using the code from the help file, I got the process list from my new Windows 2008 box (shown just below). There were 4 instances of notepad (as an example) open, but none of them are in the list:

[... many other processes, stuff deleted for brevity sake ...]
1680
1772
1868
1888
2032
2472
2940
3560
4092
3668
1428
2112
1608
2428 VMWARETRAY.EXE
2256 VMWAREUSER.EXE
2784 CCAPP.EXE
3204 CCAPP.EXE
2460 24X7.EXE
1524 24X7.EXE
2772 24X7.EXE
3872 24X7.EXE
752 24X7.EXE

From my XP box, I have a bunch of programs open, including 4 instances of notepad, which are listed:

[... many other processes, stuff deleted for brevity sake ...]

1172 DAVCDATA.EXE
2104 DAVCDATA.EXE
3604 CMD.EXE
6132 MSTSC.EXE
5876 MSTSC.EXE
4756 REALSCHED.EXE
4228 EDITOR2_UC.EXE
2744 MSACCESS.EXE
4052 CHROME.EXE
5156 CHROME.EXE
316 CHROME.EXE
3964 24X7.EXE
2080 NOTEPAD.EXE
4704 NOTEPAD.EXE
2536 NOTEPAD.EXE
1964 NOTEPAD.EXE

What I'm trying to do is to see if an instance of program is running. If so, I want to exit the script and wait for the next itteration. Is there another elegant way to do this? Trigger files may not be 100% accurate in reflecting if a program is running (i.e. scheduler is abnormally shuts down, script errors out and the trigger is not deleted, etc.)

Please advise,
Robert

Is this is a 64-bit version of Win 2008 by any chance?

It is a 32-bit process, which simply doesn't see 64-bit processes running

As a workaround, consider using RunAndWait command spawning TaskList system command with the output redirection to a file then load the resulting file using FileReadAll. To see what I refer too, open command prompt on the server and run "tasklist" command. Please let us know if you need further help with this.
