.Ppro powerpro script to kill a process



Hello Dan,



Here are a few more ideas to help you out.



I suppose you are aware of the differences between an app, a powerpro
script, and a process.  There are commands in Ppro which are apt to each
of these situations. You say you want to kill a process, so I found a
command for that.



There are several formats of the manual, and I always use PowerPro.hlp
from a click on my main bar.  It shows coloured syntax highlighting on
the code examples, which makes things a lot clearer.  When launched it
opens on the INDEX Form, entitled 'Help Topics: Help for PowerPro'. 
Click the 'Find' tab and shortly, it has catalogued all the items.  As
you type the search phrase, it does an incremental seek on the keys you
have pressed, as you are familiar with searching in google or another
websearch input box.  You click your topic when you spot it, then you
are good to go.



'List' is always a good choice of seek terms for everything, if your
head is as empty as mine.  I typ

Hi Grokit,



I am another user.  I am sure there will be a command to kill a greedy
process. I know there is in many other languages.



  I will get back to you if nobody answers the query after I seek in the
manual.  I assume you looked  in the manual.  It is great for the
commands etc.



I replied directly to warn that if you just kill processes
automatically, you can create hang ups.  So when you know how to do
this, it is best to set a timer, which can delay the kill for a length
of time.  Sometimes windows needs to use 100% for unknown reasons.  This
may only last an instant, but your simple script would stop it as soon
as this happens.



If your script would kill the process as soon as this happens, you are
going to be puzzled why the process never started apparently.



I advise you have two checks.  The timer which you can tweak the length
of delay.   And another which acts on the quantity of Ram your process
is using.  When either amount exceeds the level you chose, arrange the
script  then to

show random wallpaper from certain folder

RaymondJRamirezDVM — 2013-03-15T18:21:56

Hello all,
I have been fiddling with this for a while,and my apologies if I missed how to do this.

But I have a number of jpg images, and I have a script where I pull one of these files up and it is a wallpaper after a timer ends.

*Wallpaper Show "C:\Users\Ray\Documents\graphics\favorite comics\peanuts_dogs_r_worth_it.jpg"

But I want to pull a random jpg within that folder.

I tried:
*Wallpaper Change &(disk++?":\Users\Ray\Documents\Theology of the Body\")

But it keeps just showing the first in the list

Suggestions?
Thanks
Ray

kill process when CPU is too high

grokit — 2013-03-08T13:47:11

hi,
I'd like to use PPro to automatically kill a specific process if it's CPU %value is going above a certain limit.
I explicitely want to kill the process, not lowering priorities or such.

can this be done with PPro?
if yes, how would I do that?
thanks
dan

Re: I have tried everything

Brother Gabriel-Marie — 2013-01-19T14:25:51

Hello, Mrs. Rand,

"powerproconfig" is the GUI (_G_raphic _U_ser _I_nterface) 
where you have the little tabs for "setup", "gui control" 
and "command lists" etc.

If you right-click on your bar and choose "configure command 
list", it will appear.  Now, in the "command lists" tab, you 
can select the one you want to work with.

Re: I have tried everything

pygmypress — 2013-01-18T22:48:41

Thank you very much, Bill. I am not sure what you mean by PPROCONFIGURE. To configure I use CTRL-right click, then the menu comes up. There are no tabs, just a list of options, "configure command list," "configure bar properties," etc. 

I already have a bar with buttons on it. One is "Contact." I want to click or hover over that bar button and have the list of my commands drop down so I can click on the one I want. PPro will then insert into my text, numbers, phrase, whatever I have typed under that item.

I have a new computer and it is possible I don't have PPROCONFIGURE. I don't see it in the program folder. 

Thank you. I hope I have explained things more clearly.

Susan

Re: I have tried everything

Bill Kerr — 2013-01-18T16:23:06

Hi Pigmy,

I'm not exactly sure if I understand you, but maybe this will help:

Run PPROCONFIGURE,
You will get a window with 8 tabs along the top.
Click Key/Mouse.
Click New.
Set the key stroke you plan to use, eg Shift and Alt. Then use the
drop-down that says Select key or mouse action.
eg pick z. this means you will use those 3 keys - Shift+Alt+z - to run
whatever you set in the next section.
Now jump down to the drop-down  Enter command, or select from drop down, or
browse with button.
One of the many choices there is *Keys.
You then enter the keystrokes you wish to send in the Enter keys to send.
........ drop down.

HTH

Bill

I have my command lists set up and am trying to add items to the menu but can't figure out how to do it. I have searched "Help" but it is too technical and includes too much unnecessary information. Why isn't there a "Help" for beginners? I'm looking for the screen where you type in the item title, click "keys" and then type in your phrase or whatever.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your explanation :)  I agree that Powerpro is a valuable tool for anyone using a computer.  I have used it for some time now (a few years I think) I have also set it to run on computer startup.  It is one of my favorite programs.

Re: how to backup command list

brother.gabriel — 2012-12-28T14:12:59

Mr. honwahp,  Well, Powerpro keeps several backups automatically.  The default pcf file is called pproconf.pcf, which is probably the one you are using.  The other pcf files are just demos that you can play with.

If you hold control and right-click on a powerpro toolbar, you will get a menu.  In that menu there is a submenu that will let you change configurations.

If you want to start powerpro at computer startup, you would create a shortcut like this:  "c:\powerpro\powerpro.exe" "c:\myconfiguration\mypcf.pcf"  or whatever.  If you don't specify any pcf file to use, it will use pproconf by default.

I just copy the entire configuration folder and save it as a zip file somewhere.  That way I save all my pcf files, all my scripts and my plugin selection, too.

Powerpro is absolutely awesome.  It is sort of like AutoIt or AutoHotkey with a GUI.  But it will do ANYTHING those other guys can do.

Hi sorry to bother you again.  I have succeeded in backing up  the .ini file (which comes from the command list that I want to backup).  But about the .pcf file you mentioned, I have quite a few .pcf files in my powerpro folder : default.pcf, Demo.pcf, demodesk.pcf, empty.pcf, pproconf.pcf etc , which one should I backup?  (I think maybe pproconf.pcf is the most likely?) Or should I backup all of them?

Re: how to backup command list

Oh - forgot to tell you, the button for exporting the commandlist as ini is in the first "setup" tab of the configuration dialogue.  It says "Export as text".  You first specify a save location and file name, THEN you'll get the dialogue that will let you choose which commandlist to export (seems kind of backward to me, but there it is).

Re: how to backup command list

brother.gabriel — 2012-12-27T15:21:10

Hello, honwahp,

There are two ways,
1.  You can back up the entire pcf file (just make a copy of it somewhere) which contains all your command lists and settings.

2. If you open the pproconf (configuration dialogue), there is an option to "export to ini" which will save the commandlist as an ini file.  You can later import the ini file if you like.

In the "scripts" folder of the main powerpro forum, there is a script called CLT which will let you do this very easily.

It wasn't clear to me from your description, but for the right you should have 4 items the first and last are buttons with the command *Format StartMenu and *Format EndSubMenu.  The hyperlinks are on separate buttons in between.
