When you install, update, or uninstall Chromeleon or a third-party product (for example, Windows), it is useful to know whether any of the following Chromeleon actions are active:
- Running queue(s)
- Running Smart Startup/Smart Shutdown
- Baseline monitoring
The Chromeleon Activity Check is a stand-alone command-line program which checks if Chromeleon related systems are ready for installation/update. You will find the program (ChromeleonActivityCheck.exe) on the installation medium in the Tools > Chromeleon Activity Check folder.
NOTE
Chromeleon Activity Check requires Microsoft .NET 4.8 or higher. However, it does not require a Chromeleon license or a Chromeleon system login.
To start the activity check:
Procedure
- On your installation medium, go to Tools > Chromeleon Activity Check.
- Copy the ChromeleonActivityCheck.exe file to a location of your choice.
- Open the Windows Command Prompt.
- Navigate to the location of the ChromeleonActivityCheck.exe file and run the program.
- The following exit codes can be returned:
- 0: indicates that all Chromeleon actions are inactive
- 1: indicates active Chromeleon actions
You can use the wait
command w
to specify a wait time (minutes) for the Chromeleon actions to become inactive. The program will check for active actions every 5 seconds until the wait time has elapsed. The program will exit as soon as the actions have become inactive or after the wait time has elapsed.
Example 1:
ChromeleonActivityCheck.exe /wait:5
or
ChromeleonActivityCheck.exe /w:5
The program will check the system status for active actions every 5 seconds over a wait time of 5 minutes.
Example 2:
ChromeleonActivityCheck.exe /w:-1
The program will check the system status for active actions every 5 seconds infinitely until the system becomes inactive.
Example 3:
You can create a text file, for example ParamList, which includes predefined options for the command.
ChromeleonActivityCheck.exe @ParamList
The program will read the options from the ParamList
file. The content of the file may look like this: /w:5
