Run .bat on exit

[eric04h]

Alright, very new to all of this but seem to be needing it a lot for programing my arcade cabinet, but cannot figure this one out.

Ok, so I have a .bat file that opens application1.exe, enabledriver.bat, and ahkscript.exe

Would it be possible to program the ahkscript to run another .bat file once it detects application1.exe closes?

Basically the first .bat that is ran enables a driver via devcon, but once application1 closes, I need it to run disabledriver.bat and then proceed to close ahkscript.exe as well.

I have this below that I found for closing the ahkscript when application1 closes, but no idea how to get it o run .bat before quitting ahkscript.exe

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Code: Select all

 #NoEnv
#SingleInstance, Force
#Persistent
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
DetectHiddenWindows, On
 
SetTimer, ProcessCheckTimer, 3000
Return
 
ProcessCheckTimer:
Process, Exist, application1.exe
pid1 := ErrorLevel
If (!pid1)
{  Process, Exist, ahkscript.exe
   pid2 := ErrorLevel
   If (pid2)
      Process, Close, %pid2%
   ExitApp
}
Return

bump. Really hoping to get this done but can't find any info on doing this and don't know much about scripting from scratch.

Someone? Or can someone at least point me in the right direction on how to get started on this?

Maybe I am missing something, but can't you just use

Code: Select all

 #NoEnv
#SingleInstance, Force
#Persistent
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
DetectHiddenWindows, On
 
SetTimer, ProcessCheckTimer, 3000
Return
 
ProcessCheckTimer:
Process, Exist, application1.exe
pid1 := ErrorLevel
If (!pid1)
{  Process, Exist, ahkscript.exe
   pid2 := ErrorLevel
   If (pid2)
      Process, Close, %pid2%
   Run, disabledriver.bat ;may need to give it the full path
   ExitApp
}
Return

the solution is literally hidden in the topic's title. USE ONEXIT
for example...

Onexit(ExitFunction)

ExitFunction(,)
{
run, C:\yourbatfilehere.bat

Thank you both very much! I'll have to dig into how to use Ahk more as its proved to be A very useful tool.

Since this code will be loaded into ahkscript.exe, Does the disabledriver.bat need to be in the code first before it executes exit ahkscript.exe or does it not matter?
