Hi, Marsha. My programing knowledge is very limitetd, and the examples in the article (see directly below) doesn't give me an example of how to apply it directly.
function LockEvents()
{
// Disables posting events
Log.LockEvents();
// No event messages are posted to the test log
Log.Event("This message won't be posted to the test log.");
// Enables posting events
Log.UnlockEvents();
// Event messages are posted to the test log
Log.Event("A test event message.");
}
Any chance you can show me an example applied to an actual case? Very basically, I'm trying to do the following:
function terminate_authmanager()
{
LockEvents(Sys.Process("PixelAuthorizeManager").Terminate());
}
where I don't want this logged.
PS Been playing around, where i've tried breaking out the functions into seperate line statements, including putting the Log.LockEvents() statement before and after the process I don't want logged, but I'm still seeing this being logged.
function Terminate_AuthManager()
{
Log.LockEvents();
Sys.Process("PixelAuthorizeManager").Terminate();
Log.LockEvents();
}
function Terminate_AuthManager()
{
/*
disable log
*/
Log.Enabled = false;
/*
terminate process
*/
Sys.Process("PixelAuthorizeManager").Terminate();
/*
enable log
*/
Log.Enabled = true;
}
You're likely getting an error because the process does not exist.
To avoid the error entirely check to see if the process exists before attempting to terminate:
function terminateProcess(processName) {
for (var t = 0;t < 50 && Sys.WaitProcess('*' + processName + '*',0).Exists;t++) {
Sys.Process('*' + processName + '*').Terminate();
}
}
LOL :manlol:
yes, this is what I was trying to do initially, but, by your level of code example, I could now see why I wasn’t getting anywhere. :smileyfrustrated:
This is way beyond my programing skill level at the moment, however, I’m currently taking a programming course, and I will decipher your example and should therefore be able to understand it in a very short while. (:
Note: I do understand the For logic and structure, it’s the syntax (the ++’s and &&’s etc.) that I need to learn.
I also don’t understand the ‘*’’s and the ",0" inside the parenthesise i.e. ('*' + processName + '*',0)
Very much appreciated.
Full JScript documentation (not to be confused with javascript):
++ (increment variable)
-- (decrement variable)
&& logical conjunction
Previous code will make 50 attempts to terminate the process while it exists.
Why 50 attempts? I don't like to leave any possibility for an unterminated procedure.
