Following script is working but I would like to gracefully close it instead of terminate.
'Terminate processes
On Error Resume Next
' Define the list of applications by process
applist = "iexplore.exe|winword.exe|excel.exe|powerpnt.exe|calc.exe|wordpad.exe|mspaint.exe|notepad.exe|cmd.exe|chrome.exe"
' Loop through the split list and close each process found running
For Each app In Split(appList, "|")
set objProcs=GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("select * from Win32_Process where Name= '" & app & "'")
For Each process In objProcs
process.Terminate ***(if I use .Quit, it does not run and does not give any error.)***
Next
Next
wscript.quit()
Something similar to this.
Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
objOutlook.Quit

I have a Server with multiple Sessions on it, which all have to have a process running.
My Program should start up that process as soon as it stopped and the Session is online.
I checked for the process, and if I didn't find it I just started it. The problem is, I see the same process over all Sessions. How can I just get the processes of my Session and not the whole Server's?
This was my try, but it throws me an Error:
option explicit
DIM strComputer
DIM strProcessName
DIM WshShell
DIM strWMIQuery
DIM strSessionID
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strSessionID= wshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%SESSIONID%")
strComputer = "."
strProcessName = "FortiSwitch-Replacer.exe"
strWMIQuery = "Select * from Win32_Process where name like '" & strProcessName & "' AND SessionId like '" & strSessionID & "'"
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
if objWMIService.ExecQuery(strWMIQuery).Count > 0 then
'Dont do anything
else
'start process
end if
The Error is at the "ExecQuery()" Part (line 18) saying "Invalid query"
Lankymart found out the Answer:
The SessionId needs to be an Integer while mine was a String. By Changing the Value into an Integer the program would've worked.
What I want to add:
The ExpandEnvironmentStrings don't offer the SessionId. Right now I've used a small script from an Answer of this Question: Is it possible to run Powershell code from VBScript?
It Runs the simple Powershell command to get the SessionId in VBS.
If anyone else has some different Ideas on how to get the SessionId another way I'm interested to learn and see them :)
I have been trying to create a really simple script to maintain visibility on an IE page but am currently unable to force the visibility or foreground position of an existing IE window.
I am able to successfully activate the window using WshShell.AppActivate() but it does not make the page foreground to a user. A sample from my code is below.
Basically the code loops until the user ends the notepad window. my confusion is specifically with why IE is not visible no matter what commands I send
Dim pressX
Dim FindProc
pressX = 1
' Create WScript Shell Object to access filesystem.
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'WshShell.Run "NoScreenSaver.txt", 2, 0
' Define Which process to seek for to terminate script
strComputer = "."
FindProc = "NoScreenSaver"
Dim objApp : Set objApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Dim IE : Set IE = Nothing
Dim objWindow
' Loop start
Do
' Wait for 5 minutes
WScript.Sleep 3000 '000
For Each objWindow In objApp.Windows
If (InStr(objWindow.Name, "Internet Explorer")) Then
Set IE = objWindow
Exit For
End If
Next
' check if specific notepad closed
If WshShell.AppActivate("NoScreenSaver.txt") = True Then
'WshShell.AppActivate("iexplore.exe")
'wscript.echo FindProc & " is running"
Else
wscript.echo FindProc & " is not running" & vbCrLf & "Script will now end"
pressX = 0
End If
IE.visible = True
wshshell.appactivate ie.name
IE.navigate "google.ca"
' Send dummy key
WshShell.SendKeys "{F13}"
' repeat
Loop While pressX
I never wanted to use AppActivate to check for the specific notepad window either since it would take foreground. There is some information regarding using a COM wrapper but the COM wrapper approach is not possible within my constraints.
I am attempting to close a shell Chrome window via a VBA function. My function runs a URL query that returns a .csv file. The thing is I would like to close the window so that it is not always showing (This process runs every 3 minutes). I haven't been able to find a solution that I can get to work as of yet. I tried adding SendKeys "%{F4}" after as one site suggested. This merely minimizes the window, not close it. I also attempted to try adding DoCmd.Close Shell, "Untitled" after, yet this also did not work. I have spent several hours attempting to do, what I imagine is a simple task, and felt another set of eyes could point me in the right direction. Below is my code that opens Chrome. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Public Function RunYahooAPI()
Dim chromePath As String
chromePath = """C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"""
Shell (chromePath & " -url http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=CVX%2CXOM%2CHP%2CSLB%2CPBA%2CATR%2CECL%2CNVZMY%2CMON&f=nsl1op&e=.csv")
End Function
this VBA code will launch (as in your question) chrome, save the Process handle in the variable pHandle, loop all processes with this Handle and then stop the process (after checking user and domain of the process owner) .
Sub LaunchandStopProcess()
'
' As in your Question
'
Dim chromePath As String
Dim pHandle As Variant
chromePath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"
'
' Note: Shell pass the Process Handle to the PID variable
'
PHandle = Shell(chromePath & " -url http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=CVX%2CXOM%2CHP%2CSLB%2CPBA%2CATR%2CECL%2CNVZMY%2CMON&f=nsl1op&e=.csv")

Set objList = objWMIcimv2.ExecQuery("select * from win32_process where Handle='" & CStr(pHandle) & "'")
'
' ObjList contains the list of all process matching the Handle (normally your chrome App, if running)

If objList.Count = 0 Then

Set objWMIcimv2 = Nothing
Set objList = Nothing
Set objProcess = Nothing
Exit Sub

' Parse all matching Processes
'
For Each objProcess In objList
' additionally check with actual user
colProperties = objProcess.getowner(strNameofUser, strUserdomain)
If strUserdomain + "\" + strNameofUser = Environ$("userdomain") + "\" + Environ$("username") Then
intError = objProcess.Terminate
If intError <> 0 Then
'
' Trap Error or do nothing if code run unattended
'
Else
' Confirm that process is killed or nothing if code run unattended
End If
End If
Next

I want to run following script as scheduled task on Windows 7 in background. Now, script displays cmd window and, can I run script without visible cmd window?

Dim regexMatches
Dim Volume, Drive, Description, Redundancy, RaidStatus

Thanks a lot
Option 1 - If the task is running under your user credentials (if not, msgbox will not be visible)
There are two possible sources for the cmd window.
a) The script itself. If the task is executing cscript, the console window will be visible, avoid it calling wscript instead
b) The Shell.exec call. The only way to hide this window is to start the calling script hidden. On start of your script test for the presence of certain argument. If not present, make the script call itself with the argument, using Run method of the WshShell object, and indicating to run the script with hidden window. Second instance of the script will start with the special parameter, so it will run, but this time windows will be hidden.
Option 2 - Running the task under system credentials.
In this case, no window will be visible. All will be running in a separate session. BUT msgbox will not be seen. Change MsgBox call with a call to msg.exe and send a message to current console user.
I'm using code below to execute my commands in cmd. Which is actually made for running an exe on my server.
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim FN As Integer
FN = FreeFile
'DOS COMMANDS
ServerName = "\\mydbserv"
ExePath = """d:\myfolder\my.exe"""
UserName = "myserver\myuser"
Password = "mypass"
MyCommand = "psexec " & ServerName & " -u " & UserName & " -p " & Password & " -i " & ExePath
'Open Bat file
Open "C:\Mybatc.bat" For Output As #FN
Print #FN, "cd c:\Users\myuser"
Print #FN, MyCommand
Print #FN, "Exit"
Close #FN
'Activate
result = Shell("C:\Mybatc.bat", vbHide)
End
End Sub
everything was fine until i seen that cmd is not getting closed when process is done.
and the worse is the exe i was trying to run remotely also not stops. When i check the cpu usage it always shows "00" doesnt even starts.. It shows like working for ever but never works actually.
So my question is :
Why i cant run this exe file remotely? (or why it just shows like running)
How can i remotely run and close when finished this exe file on server?
How can i close the window and process when finished on my pc as well?
How about this?
install Windbg on the server.
config the windbg auto attach to your exe, when your exe is ready to running.
http://ask.brothersoft.com/image-file-execution-options-debugger-83827.html
running your script
after your exe is started, the windbg will attach to it.
input 'g' in the windbg command, let your exe to running.
wait until you think it should finished
ctrl-break to let the process hang on
input '~*kb' to windbg command, to see what's going on in every thread,
to find out why they are waiting, and what they are waiting for?
PSExec will only initiate the start of the process in a computer (most of the time remote), after that it has no control on the exe that is being executed. Kindly try to run it as a process (within a ProcessInfo as in C#)(with shell execute false). Also something like the following can be used to confirm the state of the process in remote PC:
Option Explicit
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim strComputer As String
Dim sReturn As String
Dim strNameOfUser As Variant
Dim colProcesses As Object
Dim objProcess As Object
strComputer = "." '"." local or "\\ComputerName"
Set colProcesses = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")
For Each objProcess In colProcesses
sReturn = objProcess.GetOwner(strNameOfUser)
If sReturn <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Could not get owner info for process " & objProcess.Name & vbNewLine & "Error = " & sReturn
Else
MsgBox "Process " & objProcess.Name & " is owned by " & "\" & strNameOfUser & "."
End If
Next
End Sub
