Process measure

Measure=Process measures the running state of a process.

The measure's value will be:

  • 1 : The specified ProcessName is running.
  • -1 : The specified ProcessName is not running.

Note: Process was previously a plugin measure.

In many existing skins you might see the syntax:

[MeasureParent]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Process
or
Plugin=Process.dll
or
Plugin=Plugins\Process.dll

Process still works with those forms, and changing existing skins to the new Measure=Process syntax is entirely optional. However, new skins created going forward should use the correct syntax for accuracy and clarity. Process is a measure, and not a plugin.

[MeasureParent]
Measure=Process
