If the application is runing or not

[paulovale]

I need to create a bat file to go moving the files from one folder to another while an application is running

Is there any command that can use a bat file to verify that the application is running

tasklist shows you if an application is running.

try :

this code start a batch file when a program start, in this example firefox.exe:

Code: Select all

@echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion & set /a st=3 & for /L %%i in (1,0,1) do ( ping ::1 >nul 2>nul & tasklist | find "firefox.exe" >nul && set /a "st=(st*2+1)&3" || set /a "st=(st*2)&3" & if !st! equ 1 call C:\file.bat )

If you want that start even the program is alreay active then change "set /a st=3" with "set /a st=0"
