Question

I want to check if a specific program is running (not a python file, but e.g. an executable) and I don't really have an idea how to do it.

I have tried using Window.get_all_windows() from dragonfly (see code sample below) but it returns a list of objects I can't really work with.

#Python 3.7

from dragonfly import Window as win

open_programs_list = win.get_all_windows()

print(open_programs_list)

I really much appreciate your time and help.

Answer 1

import win32com.client

wmi=win32com.client.GetObject('winmgmts:')

program_name = "chrome.exe"

for p in wmi.InstancesOf('win32_process'):    
    # print(p.Name)
    if p.Name == program_name:
        print("Ok")

上面的代码将检查所有当前正在运行的进程，并尝试将其名称与program_name变量进行匹配。将变量program_name的值更改为要检查的程序的名称，是否正在运行。

注释：-

如果您的程序正在运行多个实例，（例如 chrome.exe 单独运行几个进程），那么p.Name == program_name将对于一个给定的名称，必须多次正确。因此，确定将被打印几次
程序名称区分大小写。即chrome.exe和Chrome.exe 的对待方式有所不同，因此请在为客户提供价值的同时注意案例 program_name变量。

How do I check whether a windows program is running or not?
