execute with priority

I am willing to 'execwait' specifying the priority, anybody knows how?

thanks 📻

You'd have to write a plug-in or change the NSIS source. Unless someone does it before me I'll write you a plug-in tomorrow.

Thanks kichik 🙂

I don't think anybody can be faster

I'm sorry for the delay. Here it is, attached.

Use:

ExecPri::ExecWait 'command line ("C:\myprog.exe" -kill for example)' "priority"

priority can be:
normal
above normal
below normal
high
realtime
idle

Thanks for the plugin.

And don't worry for the delay, I have many NSIS projects so I move to other projects when one is stuck.

execpri only allows execwait but i need exec.
possible to implement both?

or pls tell how to execute "start /low /$EXEDIR\myprog.exe"

ReadEnvStr $R0 COMSPEC
Exec '"$R0" /C start /low "$EXEDIR\myprog.exe"'

thank you

do any of these support launching a console application hidden?

i was trying to do defrag.exe at a low priority, so I tried

ExecPri::ExecWait '"$SYSDIR\defrag.exe" C: -v' "idle"

and it is displayed

i tried some variations of

ReadEnvStr $R0 COMSPEC
Exec '"$R0" /C start /MIN /low "defrag.exe" c: -v'

none of which seem to run at all

Use nsExec::Exec.
