How to exit script? - (Moved)

[oemript]

I would like to know on how to force exit script if it runs over 3 minutes.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Local $timer = TimerInit()  ; Record time to start timer
Local $timer_len = 1000 * 3 ; 3000 milliseconds is 3 seconds

Do

    If TimerDiff($timer) >= $timer_len Then Exit

Until 0

Or you can go the adlib route if your code is too complicated to be in a event loop or if you are extra lazy:

AdlibRegister(ThreeMinuteExit, 60 * 3 * 1000) ; 3 minutes in milliseconds

Func ThreeMinuteExit()
    MsgBox(0, "3 minutes", "Hey mate your time is up, now it is time to quit")
    Exit
EndFunc

@Xandy You used 3 seconds instead of the 3 minutes OP asked for by the way

I would like to know on where to place existing coding within Do loop.

Furthermore, I do not mean to Exit Do loop.  since AutoIT would activate cmd window, I want to exit current running cmd window by force.

Local $timer = TimerInit()  ; Record time to start timer
Local $timer_len = 1000 * 3 ; 3000 milliseconds is 3 seconds

Do

    If TimerDiff($timer) >= $timer_len Then Exit
    Place existing coding here? which would run under cmd mode
    
Until 0

Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you very much for any suggestions (^v^)

Do you use a loop to control the flow of your code?

You could place the first codes I posted in and before your main loop.  Set the variables before the loop:

Local $timer = TimerInit()  ; Record time to start timer
Local $timer_len = 1000 * 60 * 3 ; 180000 milliseconds is 3 minutes

and do the If TimerDiff() inside your loop.

If TimerDiff($timer) >= $timer_len Then Exit

You could make a passive function to check time.

Local $timer = TimerInit()

Func Exit_After_3Miniutes($timer)
    Local $timer_len = 1000 * 60 * 3; 180000 milliseconds is 3 minutes
    If TimerDiff($timer) >= $timer_len Then Exit
EndFunc

Set the timer before the loop and call the function from within your loop.

If you still need assistance, paste your code and I will modify.
