Hello Group:


I want to be able to write a batch file to check to see if IE is open. Is
there a DOS command which can do this?

Thanks in advance.

See tip 6313 in the 'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com or pulist.exe (tip 3737)

set IE=N
for /f "Tokens=1" %%a in ('tasklist^|Find /I "iexplore.exe"') do (
set IE=Y
)
If "%IE%" EQU "Y" go IEisRunning

Thanks for the link. I have W2K Server SP4 on my laptop and have recently
downloaded the support tools which includes "tlist". The link gives some
expamples but includes "Tokens" which the batch complains about.


thanks again,


Michael

You can change to use "token 2" or just use pslist.ese (Sysinternals)
and change it from
('tasklist^|Find /I "iexplore.exe"')
to
('pslist^|Find /I "iexplore"')

Thanks for the update. I fumbled around and got it to work with -

tlist|find /i "iexplore.exe"
if not errorlevel 1 (
set IE=Y
goto IEisRunning
:IEisRunning
echo inside IEisRunning
:end

Hi Michael,
you know of conditional execution? This does it shorter:

pslist|find /I "iexplore"&&echo IE running||echo IE not runnning

substitute echo with a goto or whatever you like.
