Vista - run vbs.script and give it a procesname in Task Manager

Hi Group


Haw do I make a vbs script telling Windows Task Managera name like
"My_proces.vbs".

I'd like to have a vbs script running in a loop monitoring something
and make it appear in task manager with a cpecifik name.


Cheers Leon

My_process.exe and then use it to launch your script, but I don't
think you can do anything to change the extension to VBS.

However, there may be a better way to determine what script is running
using WMIs Win32_Process class to locate the correct process. That
class has a CommandLine property that will identify what script was
executed to start the process. From that information you can match or
parse out the script's name.

Here is a script that illustrates this capability ...

' Get list of running processes using WMI

sComputer = "." ' Local computer
with GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & sComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set cItems = .ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Process")
end with

Set DataList = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")

nCnt = 0
For Each oItem in cItems
DataList.Add Left(oItem.Name & " ",12) & vbTab &
oItem.ProcessID _
& vbTab & nCnt & vbTab & oItem.Commandline
nCnt = nCnt + 1
Next
DataList.Sort()
'DataList.Reverse()

s = "<xmp style='font:10pt Lucida Console'>Process Name " _
& "ID Seq # Command Line" & vbNewline & vbNewline
For Each sItem in DataList
s = s & sItem & vbNewline
Next

' Display results in a scrollable window
height = 600 : width = 800
set oIE = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
With oIE
.RegisterAsDropTarget = False
.toolbar = False: menubar = False: statusbar = False
.width = Width : .height = Height
.Navigate "about:blank"
Do Until .ReadyState = 4 : WScript.Sleep 50 : Loop
With .document
.open
.write s & "</xmp>"
.Close
.title = "Processes"
end with
.Visible = True
end with ' oIE

Hi Leon,
i think you should try to compile an .exe

Set up a new project in vb6 and add a reference to wsh to the project.

Then you should be able to paste the code from a vbs..

compile...

Finaly you can see your exe in Taskmanager

and catch it via vbs in a way like this..

Set colProcessList = GetObject("Winmgmts:").ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Process")
For Each objProcess in colProcessList
If objProcess.name = "my.exe" then vFound = True
Next
If vFound = True then
.....
End If


regards

Dirk

I have numerous scheduled tasks executing vbs scripts and batch file with
command lines which I would like to monitor. Returning a list of the tasks
and their completion status to a printer or an email every morning would be
really great. Is this something close to a script that would accomplish
this? Is there a script out there that would? Thanks in advance.

sucess, but still get the message above. I have tried several times but
don't recall ever getting WMI scripts to work on my Windows 98 machine.

It's been a long time since I ran on a Win98 equipped machine, but WMI
is supposed to support that OS, at least most of its functions
(Win32_Process being one of the supported classes). Did you download
the Win98 specific version of the Core? Try uninstalling it and
reinstalling with the download from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Other than that. I don't know what to say.

HTH,

now I get this error message.

"ActiveX component can't create object: 'System.Collections.ArrayList'"

Apperantly, .net is required to be installed for that object so I removed
referances to DataList object and tried to just echo the display to command
window.

Now I get, "Object doesn't support this property or method:
'oItem.Commandline'".

Unfortunatly for me, the .CommandLine property (and other property/methods)
are not available in 9x/NT/2K.

Thanks for the discussion Tom.
