Errorlevel and Checking Running Commands
I am wanting to write a script that adjusts based on the services running. I want to check for a file running in my batch file and than act accordingly.
tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe"
Is there a way to read the output and use that to change what happens next?
Using Errorlevel always returns a value of 0.
Example...
tasklist /fi "imagename eq notepad.exe"
if notepad is running - echo I am running!
if notepad isnt running - echo I am not running!

Re: Errorlevel and Checking Running Commands
use a find filter to locate notepad.exe and then find.exe will set the errorlevel.
