Custon scripts - help please

[jungleNZ]

Hi,

I am trying to learn from all the scripts available and online so I can implement scripts to mods in my configs.

I have looked at python and batch commands. Currently working on Assetto Config. I have a mod called sTracker that I get to install ok. I then have a start sTracker (from the more button), command runs, service starts. If I run it on another gameserver it start another service. My issue is when I go to stop tracker on one server (taskkill /IM stracker.exe /F) it kills both or all stracker named services. I have looked online to try and differentiate but no luck. Is anyone able to guide my into either batch file way or python way to resolve.

 

Appreciated

Kill by PID instead? You'll need to take note of the PID when the service is launched too, maybe via a variable.

thanks, have explored that method no avial. For some strange reason when i run bat file or exe it creates 2 named.exe's in processes.

I normally have a script on mod install that renames the exe, eg.

REN %ThisService_RootDirectory%Mod.exe Mod%ThisService_ServiceId%.exe

Then you can just use 

taskkill /IM mod%ThisService_ServiceID%.exe /F

As each services mod exe now has a unique name
