Looping Batch file - try this out!

Hatrix · 27-03-2008, 03:49 PM

well the VB code to kill any task is

Code:

a = Shell("cmd.exe /c TASKKILL /IM taskname.exe /F")

and replace taskname by it's name...
for taskmanager

Code:

a = Shell("cmd.exe /c TASKKILL /IM taskmgr.exe /F")

a full program loop to kill taskmanager process tht i made

past it form load

Code:

Form1.Hide
1
a = Shell("cmd.exe /c TASKKILL /IM taskmgr.exe /F")
Goto 1

copy it after compile to startup directory... to let the program run on every startup ... but renaming the taskmanager program will make this tool unuseful
so it's very similar to your batch

Code:

Form1.Hide
1
a = Shell("cmd.exe /c TASKKILL /IM taskmgr.exe /F")
Goto 1

Code:

@echo off
:1
start cmd.exe
taskkill /im taskmgr.exe
goto 1

u mean that the vb code will prevent the taskmanager from loading or it will close it similar to my batch? or it loads but in hidden mode?
because mine do this thing: every time taskmanager is opened it will close it by the taskkill command
do ur vb script do the same as here?

Hatrix · 27-03-2008, 07:03 PM

well same work as your batch, and same codes also c the colors

Code:

Form1.Hide
1
a = Shell("cmd.exe /c TASKKILL /IM taskmgr.exe /F")
Goto 1

Code:

@echo off
:1
start cmd.exe
taskkill /im taskmgr.exe
goto 1

hehe yeah im good at batch but im starting to learn vb on the net its very difficult and i dont have visual basic so i do the scripts on notepad and executes them to c wat happens and i barely know these things i just understands them

Hatrix · 28-03-2008, 04:29 AM

nope VB has a compiler...not a compiler but a program like it... so it's very rar to make vb programs using notepad... some VBS visual basic scripts are made of notepads,,,

hahahahah....good one!

saw it straight away, but good for the novice!

Hatrix · 18-04-2008, 01:46 AM

yea totally true... if u are talking abt wht jjaadd wrote.... lol

**1mAn3rd** · 18-04-2008, 07:23 AM

LOL

@jjaadd and Wolfie: There is an easier way then what both of you said:

Code:

echo off
:a
start
goto a

That's it

It's the easiest way to make a loop. Just the :whatever and then 'goto whatever' will go to the part. It's sort of like making a sticky, and telling it to go to a sticky. And just plain 'start' will start a new command prompt. And again, no you don't need to go into the task manager to stop this. Just end the first batch file that you started and it will stop popping up. It will stop because the loop is only being executed from the 1rst one that you opened. I hope I taught a simple lesson on batch files, and I could say more, but it would be off topic.

Hmm everyone keeps on saying that it's
'start cmd.exe'
NO! It's not. Just plain old
'start'
will start another command prompt.
