Process Renaming?

[lopolop]

anyone have any idea on how to rename the Autoit3.exe process? I wanted to make it like A random 5 letters.

That's so evil.

just compile it ^^

[lopolop]

what u mean?

Assuming it's compiled with the name of Script.exe

This will copy the compiled exe to a random 5 letters name in the same folder, and run it.

$OriginalName = "Script.exe"

If StringRight(@AutoItExe, 10) = $OriginalName Then
    $Name = @ScriptDir & "\"
    For $i = 1 To 5 ;<-- number of letters
        $Name &= Chr(Random(97, 122, 1))
    Next
    $Name &= ".exe"

    FileCopy(@AutoItExe, $Name, 1)
    Run($Name)
Else
    ;;Do stuff to do here!
EndIf

It's not process renaming, but it does what you want.

Once you compile a script to an exe, the process shows up named whatever the executable is named. So if you named it iexplore.exe, it would show up as iexplore.

im having a problem with this... Shouldn't this work with a compiled autoit script?

But for some reason it opens up a Run Dialog thing with only being able to choose Au3 files, but when i check the settings.ini it shows the File as The original name .au3 and not .exe

$ProcName = IniRead("Settings.ini", "Settings", "ProcName", "")
$ProcState = IniRead("Settings.ini", "Settings", "ProcState", "")


If $ProcessChange = 1 Then
    If $ProcState = 1 Then
            IniWrite("Settings.ini", "Settings", "ProcState", "0")
            If FileExists($ProcName) Then FileDelete($ProcName)
        Else
            $Name = @ScriptDir & "\"
        For $i = 1 To 5 
            $Name &= Chr(Random(97, 122, 1))
        Next
        $Name &= ".exe"

        FileCopy(@AutoItExe, $Name, 1)
        $ScriptName = @ScriptName
        IniWrite("Settings.ini", "Settings", "ProcName", $ScriptName)
        IniWrite("Settings.ini", "Settings", "ProcState", "1")
        Run($Name)
        Exit
    EndIf
EndIf

[EDIT]

i found out the problem.. I had a restart button when you set the program to change the process and that was set au3...

So all is working well
