Method process.triggers

---

Overload

Provides process started/ended triggers in foreach loop. See examples.

public static IEnumerable<ProcessTriggerInfo> triggers(bool? started = null, string processName = null, bool ofThisSession = false, int period = 100)

Parameters

started  (bool?) Trigger events: true - started, false - ended, null (default) - both.

processName  (string) Process executable file name, like "notepad.exe". String format: wildcard expression. null matches all.

ofThisSession  (bool) Watch processes only of this user session.

period  (int) The period in milliseconds of retrieving the list of processes for detecting new and ended processes. Default 100, min 10, max 1000. Smaller = smaller average delay and less missing triggers (when process lifetime is very short) but more CPU usage.

Returns

IEnumerable<ProcessTriggerInfo> An object that retrieves process trigger info (started/ended, name, id, session id) when used with foreach. If need more process properties, your code can call process class functions with the process id.

Exceptions

ArgumentException Invalid wildcard expression ("**options " or regular expression).

Examples

//all started and ended processes
foreach (var v in process.triggers()) {
	print.it(v);
}

//started notepad processes in current user session
foreach (var v in process.triggers(started: <c>true</c>, "notepad.exe", ofThisSession: true)) {
	print.it(v);
}
