Function ProcessGetStats Failure

[Chaym]

Hi,

I'm trying to get  IO infos from an active service that is recognized with its PID.

On Windows XP I get the IO infos, But on Window 7 And Windows 10 I get a failure with @error=1

What is wrong ?

@Chaym
Post your code, maybe?

[Chaym]

It's basic:
    $SrvMemArray = ProcessGetStats($SRVPID, 0)
   If Not $SrvMemArray Then
        WriteToLog($LogFileHandle, $SrvName & " Error, PID " & $SRVPID & " Not Found - Macro terminated", $Append)
   EndIf

On Windows Xp $SrvMemArray  is not empty, the code passes the if statement

On Windows7/10 it fails with @error = 1

Thank you

 

BTW: I run this code as administartor

@Chaym
You could check the existence of the process

[Chaym]

The existence of the process is checked with $SRVPID = ProcessExists($SrvName)

I get the Service PID Number ($SRVPID) then I use it in:

$SrvMemArray = ProcessGetStats($SRVPID, 0)

Do you see the pid in task manager ?  What version of autoit are you running ?  What is the value of $SrvName ?

You should have posted a runable script so we don't have to guess what could be the error...

ProcessGetStats returns an array, this code won't work.

If Not $SrvMemArray Then

You can't do a boolean check like that on an array. It's always going to bypass that check and go right into the If statement.

[Chaym]

Of course I see the Service And it's PID on task manager.

It's an internal private service I use at work.

"The existence of the process is checked with $SRVPID = ProcessExists($SrvName) "

I do an boolean check  on  @error flag.

ProcessGetStats() function sets non zero value on Failure (Array is empty)

Auto version in 3.3.14.2

Thank you...

You are using $SrvMemArray, which, in case of success, will be an array, which you can't do a boolean comparsion as @BrewManNH said, and, in case of failure, the @error code is set to a non-zero value.

Better check the success/failure as mentioned in the example about ProcessGetStats():

Global $SrvMemArray = ProcessGetStats($SRVPID)
If IsArray($SrvMemArray) Then
    ; Do something
Else
    ; Error
EndIf

OK!, I'll try that...

[Chaym]

Well, using  If IsArray I get  an error, the array is empty...

Any ideas?

The checked process is running at the same level, not admin?
Post some code that is runnable and actually shows what you are doing so we can check for issues.

Here is the code (very simple)

Local $ProcessName = "sqlservr.exe"
Local $SQLPID = ProcessExists($ProcessName)
WriteToLog($LogFileHandle, $ProcessName & ": $SQLPID = "&$SQLPID, $Append)

Local $SqlMemArray = ProcessGetStats($SQLPID, 0) ;Memory Info's
Local $ProcessStatusErr = @error
WriteToLog($LogFileHandle, $ProcessName&" PID: "&$SQLPID&" / @error: "&$ProcessStatusErr, $Append)

If Not IsArray($SqlMemArray) Then
    WriteToLog($LogFileHandle, $ProcessName&" Error: "&$ProcessStatusErr&" - PID: "&$SQLPID&" Not Found - Program terminated", $Append)
    ShowMess($HebStop, $ProcessName&" Error", $ProcessName&" Not found", -1)
Else

EndIf

In WindowsXP OS it passes the If Not IsArray($SqlMemArray)

In Widows 7 And  Windows 10 it not passes, I Get @error=1

Thank you

Ok, but what about the answer to my first question?
Under which credentials is the sqlservr.exe running?
Have you tried your script with #RequireAdmin at the top of the script?

Jos

[Chaym]

I tried now (again) with #RequireAdmin , it won't work.

What do you mean "Under which credentials "?

Can you explain please, from where can I see the credentials?

I added print screen of task manger, in case it helps...

I checked some processes.

It seems that process where the user name in task manager is the login user name to windows (pos) are recognized.

and the rest user names like SYSTEM and else are failing.

What cad I do about that ?

The Username column!

That makes sense as Win10 is much safer and processes can't just be access anymore like the good old win95/winXP days.

So you do get the appropriate PID but can't get the process information... not even when elevated to Admin.... right?
In that case you really need to check the security settings for the current account and the accounts used to run the services.

Jos 

[Chaym]

Yes, I get the PID but no information.

I need to check the amount of memory  the process uses (not the one in this example), IO info, etc...

to see if there are memory or resource leaks.

What should I do to get access to this services?

Thank you...

[Chaym]

Well, I changed in Log On tab to the check box to This account and entered the login account.

It works for windows 7, But not work for windows 10.

Any idea?

Thank you.
