Check for Excel session
Thread Solved |
Hi Friends,
I need to write a piece of code to identify if an Excel session(the process which is listed in the Task Manager) is already running or not?. Can anyone guide me with this?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Regards,
Dinil

I don't know but If you can mess with tasklist and subprocess module (for XP/VISTA). This is purely untested as I'm not sure if tasklist returns anything!

You can pipe top to a file on Linux and then read the file.
Apparently you can use WMI for MS WIndows but I have not used it http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi_co...ning_processes
