Access Citect Process via CMD.exe

Hi All,

Wondering if it is possible to access any Citect processes from the command line?

Use Case: would be recompiling / rebooting IOServer / Client using macro pad.

Cheers,

  • Hi Thomas, I'm pretty sure I've explored this before, and I'm pretty sure you could use either CMD or powershell to achieve it. For example you can get the PID of it using something like tasklist /v | find "IOServer". You can then capture the arguments that Citect32 uses to start that process, and you can stop it and start it similarly using command line. 

    This is the answer for an interactively run Citect system at least. I'll caveat this by saying that it'll come with a degree of risk and complication which you need to own. Good luck!
