After compiling my AutoIt v3 script into an EXE executable, I want to ensure that only one instance can be run at a time. What's the best way to achieve this?
What you need is a _Singleton
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
If _Singleton("test", 1) = 0 Then
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Warning", "An occurrence of test is already running")
Exit
EndIf
MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "OK", "the first occurrence of test is running")
UPDATE: I think the singleton function in the accepted answer is a more reliable approach. But I’ll leave this answer here in case it’s useful for anyone with older versions that might not have access to it or perhaps want a different approach.
These lines of code will allow you to exit a script if it is already running. It works best when the script is compiled into an EXE. Be aware that if it's run as an uncompiled AU3 script it will quit if any AutoIt script is already running.
Hope this helps somebody.
#include <Process.au3>
; Quit with message box if app is already running
$numberOfAppInstances = ProcessList(_ProcessGetName(#AutoItPID))
$numberOfAppInstances = $numberOfAppInstances[0][0]
If $numberOfAppInstances > 1 Then
MsgBox(0, "Exiting", "Application already running!")
Exit
EndIf

I am new to PyCharm and I have 'Process finished with exit code 0' instead of getting (683, 11) as a result (please see attachment), could you guys help me out please? Much appreciate it!
That is good news! It means that there is no error with your code. You have run it right through and there is nothing wrong with it. Pycharm returns 0 when it has found no errors (plus any output you give it) and returns 1 as well as an error message when it encounters errors.
Editors and scripts do not behave like the interactive terminal, when you run a function it does not automatically show the the result. You need to actually tell it to do it yourself.
Generally you just print the results.
If you use print(data.shape) it should return what you expect with the success message Process finished with exit code 0.
exit code 0 means you code run with no error.
Let's give a error code for example(clearly in the below image): in below code, the variable lst is an empty list,
but we get the 5 member in it(which not exists), so the program throws IndexError, and exit 1 which means there is error with the code.
You can also define exit code for analysis, for example:
ERROR_USERNAME, ERROR_PASSWORD, RIGHT_CODE = 683, 11, 0
right_name, right_password = 'xy', 'xy'
name, password = 'xy', 'wrong_password'
if name != right_name:
exit(ERROR_USERNAME)
if password != right_password:
exit(ERROR_PASSWORD)
exit(RIGHT_CODE)
I would recommend you to read up onexit codes.
exit 0 means no error.
exit 1 means there is some error in your code.
This is not pyCharm or python specific. This is a very common practice in most of the programming languages. Where exit 0 means the successful execution of the program and a non zero exit code indicates an error.
Almost all the program(C++/python/java..) return 0 if it runs successful.That isn't specific to pycharm or python.
In program there is no need to invoke exit function explicitly when it runs success it invoke exit(0) by default, invoke exit(not_zero_num) when runs failed.
You can also invoke exit function with different code(num) for analysis.
You can also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_(system_call) for more details.
What worked for me when this happened was to go to
Run --> Edit Configurations --> Execution --> check the box Run with
Python Console (which was unchecked).
This means that the compilation was successful (no errors). PyCharm and command prompt (Windows OS), terminal (Ubuntu) don't work the same way. PyCharm is an editor and if you want to print something, you explicitly have to write the print statement:
print(whatever_you_want_to_print)
In your case,
print(data.shape)
I think there's no problem in your code and you could find your print results (and other outputs) in the tab 5: Debug rather than 4: Run.
I just ran into this, but couldn't even run a simple print('hello world') function.
Turns out Comodo's Firewall was stopping the script from printing. This is a pretty easy fix by deleting Python out of the Settings > Advanced > Script Analysis portion of Comodo.
Good Luck
I had same problem with yours. And I finally solve it
I see you are trying to run code "Kaggle - BreastCancer.py"
but your pycharm try to run "Breast.py" instead of your code.
(I think Breast.py only contains functions so pycharm can run without showing any result)
Check on tab [Run] which code you are trying to run.
Your starting the program's run from a different file than you have open there. In Run (alt+shift+F10), set the python file you would like to run or debug.
I want to check a file in Unix via Automic. If the file doesnt exist it should switch the host and check if the file is there.
The problem is, that I dont now how to implement a error handling.
Everytime the script object is processing and cant find the file the skript aborted. I need a new starting point in the skript but "ON_ERROR" or ":RESTART" doesnt work.
How can I implement a logic like this: IF the script aborted due to the error-massage 'No such file or directory'start the script from here instead.
Thank you very much for your help!
Best regards
I have solved it. Use the function PREP_PROCESS_FILENAME to check if the file exists in the folder!
You have to start the task twice in the same workflow. The task-job checks if the script exists otherwise nothing to do.
if [ -f "/path/to/script" ]
then
bash /path/to/script
else
echo "Script not found"
fi
In Post-Script you can modify the state for the empty task with :MODIFY_STATE. Depend on report or returncode
THIS WORKED (see comment in the code)
I am new to MPI and still learning it. I am actually trying to write a code in Fortran to read data from same set of files (already generated) on each processor at same time and perform different computations in different processors. For which I decided to use,
program...
use mpi
implicit none
.
.
.
call mpi_file_open(mpi_comm_world,filename_i,mpi_mode_rdonly,mpi_info_null,i,ierr)
to start with the program. Now, each processor calls a subroutine in which I am trying to use normal fortran command to open files, open(i,*)...(since I don't use mpi in subroutine).
First, I am not confident about this idea itself. Next, it gives this error,
_open(mpi_comm_world,filename_i,mpi_mode_rdonly,mpi_status_ignore,i,ierr) (1)
Error: There is no specific subroutine for the generic 'mpi_file_open'
at (1)
Please give your suggestions and comments.
The thing I am trying to do is very long because of subroutine, I would just include a prototype code, if this is solved, my problem will be solved. The code below gives the same error as said before. Please give your suggestions. Thanks.
program hello
use mpi
integer::ierr,num_procs,my_id,i,j,no
call MPI_INIT(ierr)
call MPI_COMM_RANK (MPI_COMM_WORLD,my_id,ierr)
call MPI_COMM_SIZE (MPI_COMM_WORLD,num_size,ierr)
open(4,file='hella') !CHANGING THIS LINE
do i=1,num_size
if(i-1 .eq. my_id)print*,"In",my_id
if(i-1 .eq. my_id)then
read(4,*)no
print*,no
endif
enddo
call mpi_finalize(ierr)
end program hello
Is there a way to detect the exist status of WebPICmd.exe (Command line version of WebPlatformInstaller), so that I can use it in my script.
I need to know if installation of particular product succeeded or not. (Trying to install PHP53, which seems to fail randomly due to download failures)
This can be detected using $LASTEXITCODE variable in PowerShell.
In dos mode it should be LASTERRORLEVEL.
Remember to check this variable immediately after running the WebPICmd.exe so that it's return code is not overwritten by something else down the line.
I have to source a tcsh script to modify environment variables.
Some tests are to be done and if any fails the sourcing shall stop without exiting the shell. I do not want to run the script as a subprocess because I would need to modify env variables in the parent process which a subprocess cannot do. This is similar but different to this question where the author actually can run the script as a subprocess.
The usual workaround is to create an alias which runs a script (csh/bash/perl/python/...) which writes a tempfile with all the env var settings and at the end sources & deletes that tempfile. Here's more info for those interested (demoing a solution for bash). For my very simple and short stuff I'm doing that additional alias is not wanted.
So my workaround is to provoke a syntax error which stops any source execution. Here's an example:
test $ADMIN_USER = `filetest -U: $SOME_FILE` || "Error: Admin user must own admin file"
The shortcircuit || causes the error text to be ignored in case of goodness. On a test failure the error text is interpreted as a command, not found, the source stops and produces a reasonable error message:
Error: Admin user must own admin file: Command not found.
Is there any nicer way in doing this? Some csh/tcsh built-in that I've overlooked?
Thanks to a discussion with the user shellter I just verified my assumption that
test $ADMIN_USER = `filetest -U: $SOME_FILE` || \
echo "Error: Admin user must own admin file" && \
exit
would actually quit the enclosing interactive shell. But it does not.
So the answer to my above question actually is:
Just use a normal exit and the source will stop sourcing the script while keeping the calling interactive shell running.
