New page

<pre>
ProcessWait( <pid/name>, <timeout> )
</pre>

=== Description ===

Pauses the current thread until a given process exists or optional the timeout expires.

=== Parameters ===

==== pid/name ====

The name or PID of the process to check.

==== timeout ====

Optional; Specifies how long to wait (default is to wait indefinitely).

=== Return Value ===

Success: Returns 1.

Failure: Returns 0 if wait timed out.

=== Remarks ===

Process names are executables without the full path, e.g., "notepad.exe" or "winword.exe"

If multiple processes have the same name, the one with the highest PID is terminated--regardless of how recently the process was spawned.

PID is the unique number which identifies a Process.

A PID can be obtained through the ProcessExists or Run commands.

In order to work under Windows NT 4.0, ProcessClose requires the file PSAPI.DLL.

The process is polled approximately every 250 milliseconds.

=== Example ===

<syntaxhighlight lang="sputnik">
ProcessWait("notepad.exe");
ProcessWaitClose($PID)

</syntaxhighlight>
