Condition - Process
The Process condition checks whether a program is running on the VisualCron Server computer. Use it, for example, to skip a Job while another program is still running, or to run a Task only when a required program is running.
This page describes the Process tab of the Add/Edit condition window. For the Main settings tab of the window (Condition type, Description, Active), see Conditions - Conditions.

Process information
Process name
Enter the file name of the program, including its extension, for example "notepad.exe". Or click Select to open the Active processes window, which lists the processes running on the Server computer, and double-click a process to use its name. You can use Variables in the name, see Global - Variables. The window does not let you save the condition with an empty name.
The name must match the program's file name exactly, and the comparison is case-sensitive: "Notepad.exe" does not match "notepad.exe". Partial names and wildcards are not supported.
The check sees only the processes that the account the VisualCron service runs under is allowed to inspect. A process it cannot inspect is treated as not running.
Match
Is running
Select "True" to match when at least one process with that name is running, or "False" to match when none is running. The default is "True".
