Help with variables

About the best thing I can suggest is to run this skin:

And then load and unload skins while watching what impact it has on the various measurements.

Note that this skin itself will use a % or two of CPU, as the Perfmon plugin is a bit piggy...

Let me know if you have questions.

I know this should be its own thread but I'm just hoping to pick your brain on the probably simple but big unknown workings part of the application that if I knew the answer to I'd be able to relax and work on tightening the error and bizarre scenario handlers.

Sorry, for the long exposition. So my tiny contribution, because there isn't much I can help with but it really feels good to have a purpose in these final times, is to kill a program on a computer that the IP becomes exposed.

I've got the when detection all figured out. It is the killing the program part that is the unknown.

So there is an application ("เสียงฟรี.com") I can have then rename it if the characters are a problem. I have no idea what the process(s) are called. There is, unfortunately no shortcut key for the exit command. The menu thankfully is in English and it is "File" menu, option "Exit" to shut it down.

Less ideally, but acceptable is to end the process if someone can tell me what it is called.

Also acceptable if all else can't be done would be to force to computer offline.

In this one instance I would love a fully formed routine rather than being shoved in the right direction as then I could concentrate on making the rest as tight as possible.

Thanks again in advance and sorry for not making a new thread but I sort of wanted to hide it a bit. Feel free to put it where you think it should be (hopefully not the trash ) if that is the best move.

If I understand correctly, you want to kill a running process in Windows from Rainmeter. That is not that hard to do:

You can use the RunCommand plugin to execute a DOS/CMD command to kill the process by name. I would in fact suggest renaming that program, as I think the Unicode characters are likely to just complicate things.

I've become slightly surprised how English centric the computer world has remained. Even a company as worldwide in its scope as Google and my girlfriend can't have a gmail address in her native name. She is forced to westernize it. That is beginning to seem messed up to me.

But I'm running off the trail here. The point is: thank you. I will play with that code you provided in the next message. It looks straight forward enough.

Off to work on time outs and error conditions
