Error 101 in Log (Not sure if Rainmeter-related)

[Bananorpion]

Yop.

My skin runs fine, but having the same error in log, every couple seconds:

Error 101: Program still running: powershell.exe

I know where it happens ([MeasureBrightness]), I think know what happens (The skin updates before commands return termination signals, if they do at all), but I don't know a lot about powershell, or Windows programming itself, so I'm not sure where this could be fixed. Any idea?

Here's the relevant code :

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
OnUpdateAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBrightness "Run"]

[MeasureBrightness]
Measure=PLUGIN
Plugin=RunCommand
Program=powershell.exe
Parameter=Get-Ciminstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName WmiMonitorBrightness | findstr "Bright"
OutputType=ANSI
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="CurrentBrightness : (\d+)#CRLF#":"\1"
FinishAction=[!SetOption MeasureBrightnessPercent Formula [MeasureBrightness]][!UpdateMeasure MeasureBrightnessPlus][!UpdateMeasure MeasureBrightnessMinus]

Attached is the full skin
(Will work on a Windows 10 laptop ONLY)

In my opinion, the simplest solution would be to use instead of the posted plugin measure, a PluginBacklight plugin, which does the same thing, but it avoids such log error messages.

Fixed.

Fixed.

How?

Rookie mistake.

I used to have this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
OnUpdateAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBrightness "Run"]

[MeasureBrightness]
Measure=PLUGIN
Plugin=RunCommand
Program=powershell.exe
Parameter=Get-Ciminstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName WmiMonitorBrightness | findstr "Bright"
OutputType=ANSI
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="CurrentBrightness : (\d+)#CRLF#":"\1"

= Command run on every update cycle

Now I have this:

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
OnRefreshAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBrightness "Run"]

[MeasureBrightness]
Measure=PLUGIN
Plugin=RunCommand
Program=powershell.exe
Parameter=Get-Ciminstance -Namespace root/WMI -ClassName WmiMonitorBrightness | findstr "Bright"
OutputType=ANSI
RegExpSubstitute=1
Substitute="CurrentBrightness : (\d+)#CRLF#":"\1"
FinishAction=[!CommandMeasure MeasureBrightness "Run"]

= Command run on refresh, and then every time the previous run command has ended.

Still a solution for people who don't want new plugins, but that's very basic.

Good point!
