ProcessExists

Edit: Look in the help file under this function. The example is pretty much exactly what you are asking for.

whats wrong with that?

If ProcessExists("blabla.exe") Then ; Check if the Notepad process is running. 
Run('"C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" -f -s -t 15') 
EndIf

ProcessWait("blabla.exe")  ; Wait for Notepad process
Run('"C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe" -f -s -t 15')

And what code would be in a different way if this .exe not appears in 2 minutes shutdown windows?

[mikell]

Look at the func in the helpfile

Put a timeout and a ProcessExists condition

ProcessWait("notepad.exe", 5)    ; 5 seconds
Msgbox(0,"ProcessExists", (ProcessExists("notepad.exe")<>0) ? "yes" : "no")

deepdown, you have already received some great examples. We tend to try to help you learn how to code, rather than you putting in a request and someone barfing up code for you. How about you try your hand at something, and post here if you run into trouble?
