Check whether executable file is running or not

[a1jit]

Hi Guys,

 

Is there any way to implement the logic below

 

Check whether Test.exe is running or not. If its running, dont do anything.

If it is not running, launch it

 

 

Thank you very much

System.Diagnostics.Process[] procs = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("Test");
if(procs.Length >= 1)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Test.exe");

should get you started

wOWOWO..Excellentttt...thax a lottttt...

 

But im confused a little

 

if procs.Length == 0 , then we should start up Test.exe ..

 

Normally if the file is not running, meaning procs.Length will return 0 right?

 

And im confused about another thing..

 

Whenever i put this code and create new project as a "Windows Service",

No matter the executable is running or not, it always says that its running. Although it is not running..Pretty weird..

 

If its windows application, when i debug, it works well..

 

But when i create a service, it does not..

 

Any idea?
