TASKLIST batch command
How can using TASKLIST and to run task if not available
David Johnson, CD
huh? tasklist is a just a list of running processes.. it has nothing to do with actually starting a process (running a program).. a more in-depth version with options is a product by Sysinternals called Process Monitor http://www.microsoft.com/sysinternals
Do you mean if a process is not running then start it?
if so:
@echo off
tasklist | find "notepad.exe" || START "" "notepad.exe"
Will look if notepad.exe is running and if not start it

My reaction exactly.
"HUH?"
The request is a couple words short of a question, not to mention an actual sentence.
I don't know how anyone could even speculate what egovernment is asking for sure, but I'm going to try.
My thinking is that it may have something to do with checking if a specific task is running (that may not be on a list) and then running it if its not there. This is more like something that Task Scheduler would be capable of in the programming settings of a particular task/s properties. So perhaps TASKLIST was meant to read Task Scheduler, but in the sense of using a script or batch file to test against a list of Tasks. (But using eleven words or less)

Judging by previous questions... you have 10 open at the moment egovernment, including other ones I have offered comments against, and going back a couple of weeks. Perhaps you could clarify / give us feedback please on what has been offered (and the other Q's).

There was solutions provided, and no followup from poster. Since we put our time helping, I suggest closing it by splitting points.
Well there were valid answers there, but deleting fine if we have to ... BUT is anything being done about my comment in http:#36900634 ?
I forgot to mention. If you split points, give mine to Steve, as he's on the 1M finish line..
Passed it Rene now :-)
Ah a quality well thought out selection of answer after all, we needn't of worried :-)
