Find And Run Robot / Re: group alias bug #2
« Last post by lanux128 on May 09, 2006, 09:45 PM »
aye perlguy, i had the same problem too... see here -> Alias broken if name contains dot...

but unfortunately, it slipped through the previous update...
why don't you post it at the bug-tracker, then mouser can respond to the problem...

zeemar,
instead of throwing in a input-box, i've decided to add an INI file for any modification. now the script should repeat itself and allow you to edit the list externally.

ok, here you go... :up:
the modified code: Mach2
; To kill some tasks prior to running any CPU-intensive apps
; Date: 18/03/2006  ;Last Updated: 09/05/2006
; Modified from its original version due to a request in DC forums
; Refer: hxxp://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=3413.0
; Note:
; ***** Needs PsKill by SysInternals
; ***** hxxp://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsKill.html
; ***** Adjust path to PsKill as necessary...
; Changes since:
; ***** Made the script to repeat itself (SetTimer)
; ***** Added INI file to add new processes
; ***** Due to script's persistent nature, added Alt+Q hotkey to quit.

#SingleInstance force
;#NoTrayIcon
#Persistent
DetectHiddenWindows On
SetTitleMatchMode 2   ; not sure if needed but just in case.

;declare all unwanted processes
;just processes' name will do
ToClose =
( Join|
InoRT
jusched
InoTask
)

Gosub, Get_INI
SetTimer, CloseAll, 500
Return

Get_INI:
IfNotExist, ToClose.ini
  {
  comments=
  comments=`;This file contains the list of unwanted processes
  comments=%comments%`n`;Separate these processes with a pipe (|)
  comments=%comments%`n`;
  FileAppend,%comments%,ToClose.ini
  Iniwrite,%ToClose%,ToClose.ini,Settings,ProcessList
  }
Else  ;INI file exists, read from it
  {
  IniRead,ToClose,ToClose.ini,Settings,ProcessList
  }
Return

CloseAll:
Loop, Parse, ToClose, |
{
  Process, Exist, %A_LoopField%.exe
  NewPID = %ErrorLevel%   ; Save the value since ErrorLevel often changes.
  If NewPID <> 0          ;
    {
    ;MsgBox Process %A_LoopField%.exe is found, with the process ID of %NewPID%. ;test var
    Run, %ProgramFiles%\SysTools\pskill.exe %NewPID%
    }
}
Return

;Alt+q exits...
!q::ExitApp

- To monitor the processes every 15 mins or so and kill them.
- To have an input dialog which takes in the list of processes, like the processKiller created by jpaigva
glad to see it was of use to you, zeemar.. :)
as for the 1st request, SetTimer function can do the trick. modify the code as below, the newly-added lines are in blue:

#SingleInstance ignore
#NoTrayIcon

SetTitleMatchMode 2   ; not sure if needed but just in case.

SetTimer, CloseAll, 250
Return

CloseAll:

;declare all unwanted processes
;just processes' name will do
ToClose =

InoTask
)

;Close processes
Loop, Parse, ToClose, |
{
  Process, Exist, %A_LoopField%.exe
  NewPID = %ErrorLevel%   ; Save the value since ErrorLevel often changes.
  If NewPID <> 0          ;
    {
    Run, %ProgramFiles%\SysTools\pskill.exe %NewPID%
    }
}
Return


as for the 2nd request, i'll take a look at jgpaiva's script & then work-out something.

Living Room / Re: for the dual monitor dudes

tks to nudone for the encouragement in setting-up a dual-monitor system...
now as a happy user, i post this link to which has more cool dual-screen wallpapers -> http://www.digitalbl...es/dualscreen1.shtml

Has anyone seen this for windows?
Thanks

I created a EXE using ahk2exe but when i run it nothing happens.

Could somebody check this code and tell me if some thing is wrong.

zeemar:
actually, you need to specify like this:
;declare all unwanted processes
;just processes' name will do
ToClose =
( Join|
InoRT
jusched
InoTask

)


without the .exe because in the line below, each of the processes is added with .exe (of course, this is not good for portability but then i hadn't checked it thoroughly)
  Process, Exist, %A_LoopField%.exe

sorry for the confusion...
btw, jgpaiva tks for standing-in...
6011
How do I use this code.... I mean how can i convert this code into an EXE file.
i assumed you had autohotkey installed in your pc but if you haven't, use ahk2exe to convert the script to an EXE file.

to use the script itself, first find out the names of processes that is bothering you via Windows' Task Manager or as mentioned by Rover, Sysinternal's Process Explorer. next you can edit the script to add those processes, replacing the processes already in the script.

...
;declare all unwanted processes
;just processes' name will do
ToClose =
( Join|
AllChars     ; your process goes here
CLCL         ; your process goes here
avgamsvr   ; your process goes here
avgcc       ; your process goes here
avgupsvc   ; your process goes here
)
-this is where you change

then you're good to go.
6012
Actually those processes are not spyware. They are Antivirus related software and my company installed those on my system and I should always have them. Even if i disable the services, they are restarted by the network Admin.

Zeemar:
since you haven't resolved your problem yet, you might want to try a script that i've using. but this script requires  PsKill from Sysinternals. feel free to adapt it to your needs.

Here is the code
; To kill some tasks prior to running any CPU-intensive apps

; Modified from its original version due to a request in DC forums
; Refer: hxxp://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=3413.0

;just processes' name will do

;MsgBox %ToClose% ;test var

;Close AllChars, CLCL, AVGamsvr, AVGcc, AVGupsvc
Loop, Parse, ToClose, |
{
  ;MsgBox, Process #: %A_Index% is %A_LoopField%. ;test var
  Process, Exist, %A_LoopField%.exe
  NewPID = %ErrorLevel%   ; Save the value since ErrorLevel often changes.
  If NewPID <> 0          ;
    {
    ;MsgBox Process %A_LoopField%.exe is found, with the process ID of %NewPID%. ;test var

Living Room / Countdown to 010203040506
« Last post by lanux128 on May 01, 2006, 11:38 PM »
At exactly one hour, two minutes and three seconds after midnight on the fourth of May, the time and date will read 01.02:03 04.05.06.

It's more than an interesting string of numbers, as this combination comes together only once every hundred years -- practically once in a lifetime.

General Software Discussion / Re: Eyecandy - Visual Task Tips
« Last post by lanux128 on April 27, 2006, 09:07 PM »
yeah, i'm playing around with it too but lack of options bothers me a bit. like configuring the delay before the images show up, the size of the thumbnails, etc... i think i'll email the author and check on his to-do list.
6016
Because in my system there are 4 EXEs which are not needed to run but are always running. I cannot/shouldnot uninstall them.

you seem to have a spyware problem. are those processes can't be uninstalled because they keep installing themselves or they shouldn't be uninstalled because the pc is not yours or something like that? imo, it's better to attack the root cause rather than patching up.

General Software Discussion / Eyecandy - Visual Task Tips
« Last post by lanux128 on April 26, 2006, 11:25 PM »
here's a cool eye-candy, Visual Task Tips... works just nice out of the box but there's no configurable options.

Visual Task Tips is a lightweight shell enhancement utility. It provides thumbnail preview image for each task in the Windows Taskbar, like in the upcoming Microsoft Windows Vista. NOTE: Windows XP required to run Visual Task Tips.....(free)..

Find And Run Robot / Re: New version?

maybe dropping the 'robot' would be a good idea. 3 cheers for Find & Run :-*

I object.  :down:

I donated for AHK, not AutoIt.
...

basically i'm impartial on this but wr975's point hit me on the head. the good folks here at DC had donated thinking that the dough will go to AHK's development team. So it's a bit like moving the goal-post now if we turn around and say "let's split".

so i'd like to suggest that we proceed with this fund as originally planned but there can always be another pot for Auto-It...

aah, a GUI for Winwarden. now, that's something worth waiting.. :up:

i'm glad you liked it, Cavalcader...
yes i agree. it is very difficult for a programmer who codes as a hobby to keep the program updated as frequent as we'd like it to be...

Find And Run Robot / Re: New FARR flash video demo
« Last post by lanux128 on April 25, 2006, 09:09 PM »
It's being done, i already have the images for it, it's in "editing stage". But it'll only feature the default aliases (run, search, DCsearch, imdb, calculator). I think the 3rd one will have some explanation on how the options dialog works. As for regex and alias costumization, that might be a 4th one ;)

aah, you got it all covered, jgpaiva. :Thmbsup: like carol, i'm all excited about the regex video...
next, you may want to design a nice homepage for yourself, showcasing all your ahk scripts & demo videos.

muito obrigado, mate...
6023
Cavalcader: until the gurus of AHK come up with a better solution, why don't you try this -> File Sieve

File Sieve is a small tool that can take the files from a directory and copy or move them into a new folder, while creating subfolders from A-Z and sorting the files into them based on their name (first letter). The program can come handy if you want to organize files for archiving, or to put them on a CD.
