[amibroker] Re: Amibroker as a COM object

D,

Assuming that there isn't an already running invisible Broker.exe, 
then isn't it fairly straight forward to check whether or not 
Broker.exe is running and if not start it prior to creating the 
object ?

ABisRunning = 0

Set oWinMgm = GetObject("WinMgmts://localhost")
    
For Each oProcess In oWinMgm.ExecQuery ("select * from Win32_Process 
where name='Broker.EXE'")
    ABisRunning = ABisRunning + 1
Next

If ABisRunning = 0 Then
    oWSH.Run "Broker.EXE"
End If

Additionally if one is concerned that the Broker.exe that is running 
is invisible or if there are two or more Broker.exe's running then 
one could terminate them and re-execute one.

Set oWinMgm = GetObject("WinMgmts://localhost")
    
For Each oProcess In oWinMgm.ExecQuery ("select * from Win32_Process 
where name='Broker.EXE'")
    oProcess.Terminate
Next

Am I missing something ?
