I'm looking for a way to be sure it is not already running on some other machine before starting it. The best way I've figured out is to check for an existing .pid in the <g class="gr_ gr_34 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling
ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="34" id="34">mysql</g> folder.
The easiest thing would be to modify the shortcut but I don't think <g class="gr_ gr_23 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="23" id="23">thats</g> possible
afaik.
<g class="gr_ gr_24 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del" data-gr-id="24" id="24">So <g class="gr_ gr_29 gr-alert gr_tiny gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling
multiReplace" data-gr-id="29" id="29">i</g></g> need to do a couple of things.
1) figure out where <g class="gr_ gr_27 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="27" id="27">mysql</g> is stored
2) check for <g class="gr_ gr_32 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="32" id="32">existence</g> of a .pid file and if found throw a message box stating so with
the name of the file MINUS the extension to give them a hint what machine is be running it.
3) if not exist then go ahead and start wamp like it normally would with the shortcut.
DONE.
If necessary we can ask the user ONCE where <g class="gr_ gr_31 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace" data-gr-id="31" id="31">wamp</g> is stored then <g class="gr_
gr_35 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling" data-gr-id="35" id="35">its</g> simply at %wamp%\bin\mysql
<g class="gr_ gr_36 gr-alert gr_tiny gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="36" id="36">i</g> tried this script but it doesn't do it properly, it's opening 2 cmd windows and
just throwing a pause.
@echo off
cd "C:\google_drive\server\wamp64"
forfiles /p bin\mysql\ /m *.pid /s /c "cmd /c goto error"
start wampmanager.exe
exit
:error
echo I'm sorry, Mysql is already running so I can't start WAMP for you. Shutdown WAMP on @FNAME before running again."
pause
all help will be greatly appreciated.
