I'm building another ChromeLoader for ChromePortable and the idea is as follows:

-An icon shows in the system tray when ChromeLoader is launched along with an instance of ChromePortable
-Double clicking the icon in the system tray launches another ChromePortable window
-Relaunching the original ChromeLoader opens another ChromePortable window but has only one system tray icon.
-Closing all instances of the ChromePortable causes the ChromeLoader to exit.
-Exiting ChromeLoader closes all instances of ChromePortable

My problem lies within keeping track of the PID of each instance of ChromePortable. I want to be able to keep all other local instances of Chrome running while closing only the portable instances.

The current code works fine with one instance of ChromePortable, but once ChromeLoader is launched again, the script exits.

What's the best way to close ChromeLoader only when all other instances of ChromePortable are closed? (A local instance of Chrome can still be running).

Hi,

First of all, I would recommend to use a Timer (command: SetTimer) instead of a loop.

Then the solution could be to store a list of PIDs in a static variable in a function.
1) When the function is called with a PID it gets added to the var.
2) When the function gets called without a PID it loops over the var and checks if the PIDs are running, if not it removes the PID from the var.
When the var gets empty, the function returns 1 to show that all PID have exit.
