Detecting a Non-Responding Application

[mohdfraz]

Hi,

a) Can we identify Non Responsive/ crashed applications using Batch file? If yes then how?
I want to run a email alert command if my desired application crashes.


b) Is there any way to Ping applications like we can ping web sites?

Thanks

tasklist can provide details about a non-responsive task:

Code: Select all

    Filter Name     Valid Operators           Valid Value(s)
    -----------     ---------------           --------------------------
    STATUS          eq, ne                    RUNNING | SUSPENDED
                                              NOT RESPONDING | UNKNOWN

How did you generated that?

I tried this code

Code: Select all

Tasklist >c:\List.txt

and this result came



Image Name PID Session Name Session# Mem Usage
========================= ====== ================ ======== ============
System Idle Process 0 Console 0 28 K
System 4 Console 0 240 K
smss.exe 828 Console 0 388 K
csrss.exe 876 Console 0 7,048 K
winlogon.exe 908 Console 0 1,716 K
services.exe 952 Console 0 4,664 K

Yes, I noticed after replying to you. But can you make a code to check status for example note.exe and if not responding then run a command other wise go to Loop.

Thanks

ok this code can check notepad.exe status running. But if its status become other than "running" i want to run another command and if status is "running" then go to loop. how i can do this?

Code: Select all

tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe" /fi "STATUS eq running" >c:\test.txt

[foxidrive]

This should launch run.exe when note.exe is not responding.

Code: Select all

tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq note.exe" /FI "status eq NOT RESPONDING" 2>&1 |find ":" >nul || run.exe

[mohdfraz]

Great,,, Thank you,,,,,

I write this one,, I think this will work as well.

Code: Select all

:Loop

tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe" /fi "STATUS eq running" goto SkipAlert

:: command to run here if program not equal to Status "Running"

msg * Program not responding


:SkipAlert

GoTo :Loop

[mohdfraz]

Foxidrive, your codes is working. Mine is not. I will use yours.

Code: Select all

:loop
tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe" /fi "STATUS ne RUNNING" |find "." >nul && goto 1Alert
goto loop

:1Alert
Msg * Start Alert Not Responding program
pause

Thanks

One problem Tasklist find if note.exe is in the list and if any other program having Not Responding status then it run.exe

Is there a way to tell Tasklist to check Not Responding Status for note.exe only and if its not responding then run.exe

Thanks

How did you test that?

I assumed the filters were ANDed.

I assumed the filters were ANDed.

I run this code and it show me that there was some other Not Responding application running which triggering Alert and it is not monitoring my specific required application. Is there any way? Do not know what is ANDed means.

Code: Select all

:loop
Tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq MessageCenter.exe" /fi "STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING" |find "." >nul && goto StartAlert
goto loop

:StartAlert
Tasklist /fi "STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING" >>c:\NotResponding.txt

[foxidrive]

Code: Select all

Tasklist /fi "STATUS eq NOT RESPONDING" >>c:\NotResponding.txt

This line is going to show you EVERY non responding program. That's what it is being told to do.

I don't understand what you are doing, or what you want to do, and how you are including it into your code.

Right, I am using the list to identify issue, But I really want that if MessageCenter.exe becomes Not Responding status then execute Run.exe ,,, Is there any way to do this using?

[foxidrive]

You already have that code. How does it fail?
