HI @Rahul_J

Try this with Get Processes activity

It will get youe all the running application
by that you can give a condition to check if item.toString.Contains(“main_csh.exe or something like that”)

Hope this Helps

Hi @Rahul_J

You can open the Task manager

Use Send Hot key activity Ctrl+Shift+Esc

Get the Status for the particular process using Get Text ot CV get text activity

I’m quite not sure how it will work. Kindly check it

HI @Rahul_J

I dont think we can get the text from task manager.

Yes you can also check this way

Method 1:

  • Get Processes activity
  • Give this expression in a string variable
If(String.Join(",",Processes.AsEnumerable().Select(Function(s) s.ProcessName)).Contains("Skype"),"Running","Not Running")

Expression will get all the process info that running currently in array and check if process list contains “Specific process name” True-> Running ;False-> Not Running

Method 2:

  • Get Process activity
  • Loop through all the running process and assign a boolean if the process is running
  • Based on that boolean assign status in switch true ->Running False-> Not Running
