[2005] Restart processes that have the same name.
Hello,
There is a process on my computer called bms.exe
Well bms.exe is opened twice, so on the taskmanager under processes, it shows bms.exe twice but they have different PIDs (whatever that is).
I want to loop through the process and restart those processes. I can't just loop through and then restart bms.exe, i need to start `both` the bms.exe processes.
I don't just want to open them both twice because they have different settings basicly...
BMS stands for: Buisness Music System.
The first bms.exe process has the default playlist.
Whell the other bms.exe process has a 'bar' playlist.
There is a bms manual that shows some code that can be written to restart each player. It says:
Code:
bms.exe -x "bar" -restart
then it is saved as a .bat file a (batch)
I am having problems with using their code they have supplied. So i am just going to make a small program of my self that restarts the default bms.exe and the bar bms.exe
How is this done? Maybe since they have different PIDs i can mix that into my code? I am not sure.
Re: [2005] Restart processes that have the same name.
Can't you just do:
vb.net Code:
Process.Start("bms.exe", "-x bar -restart")
?
Re: [2005] Restart processes that have the same name.
It can be simply done using cmd... use 'TASKLIST ' to find the im (Image Name) and pid (Process ID) and then use 'TASKKILL /?' and it gives you examples.

Well as i said the code they supplied had bit of problems... well maybe... i don't think it will work though
Re: [2005] Restart processes that have the same name.
Well actually yes it works.. the error was the "bar". It should have been just bar.

No, i didn't know it i just thought you wanted the code to start a program with parameters :) I leaved the double quote's out because else it would have been "-x "bar" -restart", and that is pretty messed up.
