Command Line Parms: Detect Existing Process

[lmstearn]

To repro,

1. Configure two Notepad Prgs, one wide, one ANSI, as described in Help: Getting Started, and add them to a Batch Preset.
2. Name the Preset "Notepad" and click "This Preset at Load."
3. Quit PrgLnch, closing all instances of Notepad.
4. Then launch a new instance of Notepad by editing any small file.
5. Start PrgLnch, and find in the Prg Status List an active entry for each Notepad,
6. By cancelling one, the other entry in the list will also become inactive.

To the rescue is code from an old AHK thread that will do the task:

for Item in ComObjGet( "winmgmts:" ).ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")

{

Commandline := Item.Commandline

StringReplace Parameters, Commandline, % Item.ExecutablePath

StringReplace Parameters, Parameters, ""

` if (Trim(Parameters) <> "")

MsgBox % "Name: " Item.Name "nnParameters: " Parameters
}

To implement. consider a policy typed option in which the command line options of an existing Prg process are required, or no. Looks to be somewhat out of the scope of PrgLnch in any case.
