Check if a process is running or not?

batch-file, batch-processing, vbscript

Solution

Here's another way to do it using your code as a base:

@echo off
Set "MyProcess=calc.exe"
echo "%MyProcess%"
tasklist /NH /FI "imagename eq %MyProcess%" 2>nul |find /i "%MyProcess%" >nul
If not errorlevel 1 (Echo "%MyProcess%" est en cours d^'execution) else (start "" "%MyProcess%")
pause

Problem

I want to check if a process is running or not ? if the process is not running, then i execute it (in this example I took the calculator with process name = calc.exe) I started the batch script, but I have a syntax problem I believe ! ``` @echo off Set MyProcess=calc.exe echo %MyProcess% pause for /f "tokens=1" %%i In ('tasklist /NH /FI "imagename eq %MyProcess%"') do set ff=%%i echo %ff% If /i %ff%==%MyProcess% (Echo %ff% est en cours d^'execution) Else (Start %MyProcess%) pause ```
