I think that system command 'pstat' is enough to see MDH.EXE is
running or not.
For instance:
/* Rexx Script to invoke MDH.EXE & Mozilla.exe */
/***** modify here to fit your environment *****/
directoryWhereMozillaExeIs = 'f:\Warpzilla-nightly\bin'
/***********************************************/
procToCheck = 'MDH.EXE'
procAlreadyRunning = 'FALSE'
rc = directory(directoryWhereMozillaExeIs)
procToCheck = strip(translate(procToCheck))
newQ = RxQueue('create')
rc = RxQueue('set', newQ)
'@pstat /C | rxqueue ' || newq
do until Queued() = 0
parse pull lineBuffer
po = pos(procToCheck, lineBuffer)
if po <> 0 then procAlreadyRunning = 'TRUE'
end
rc = RXQueue('delete', newQ)
if procAlreadyRunning = 'FALSE' then do
'detach MDH.EXE'
end
/* 'start Mozilla.exe' */ /* I prefer this way but..*/
'Mozilla.exe'
return 0
/* end of Rexx Script */
This script requires:
1. 'pstat' is on path.
2. mozilla.exe and mdh.exe is on a directory where
'directoryWhereMozillaExeIs' points.
