I want to read the text from a RUNNING command prompt in Windows and check if the text in it changed over time. If that is not the case, I want to kill that prompt and launch the .bat file again.
I want to make this clear: the script the prompt is running never comes to an end, therefore I can't send it to clipboard or print a .txt file trough it.
I tried to send the keys to select everything in the command prompt and to copy it, which are ^A {Enter}, but it's not working.
At this point I give up, I have read something about a program called cb.exe that supposedly does what I need but I have no clue about how to use it and if it works under Windows 64 bit.
I think I understood what to do next, but feel free to correct me, I'm not a programmer in life.
Loop
{
Something that copies the command prompt window content into clipboard
if (Myvar=Clipboard)
{
WinKill C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
Run C:\whatever
}
Myvar:=Clipboard
Sleep 300000
}
In case you are wondering, I want to check if a miner program is running as intended, since it has a bad trend to get stuck without any error message. Yep, in Windows, I didn't plan this.
A viable option is to check the core usage of my GPU, but I think this is an harder task.
Thanks in advance
