Boosting myself to HIGH process priority

Context: Windows Server 2008R2, VBScript

The script gets its own name, then looks through the Win32_Processes for a match with CSCRIPT.EXE and a CommandLine containing that name. Any matches (should be only one, but could be more) are boosted to HIGH process priority.

option explicit dim sName dim sComputer dim oWMI dim cProcesses dim oProcess CONST HIGH = 256 sComputer = "." Set oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & sComputer & "\root\cimv2") sName = Wscript.ScriptName Set cProcesses = oWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'cscript.exe' And CommandLine LIKE '%" & sName & "%'") For Each oProcess in cProcesses oProcess.SetPriority(HIGH) WScript.Echo "Boosted myself" Next

And in JScript

var HIGH = 256 var sComputer = "." var sName = WScript.ScriptName var query = GetObject("winmgmts:\\\\" + sComputer + "\\root\\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'cscript.exe' And CommandLine LIKE '%" + sName + "%'") var cProcesses = new Enumerator(query); // Enumerate WMI objects for ( ; !cProcesses.atEnd(); cProcesses.moveNext()) { var oProcess = cProcesses.item() oProcess.Priority = HIGH WScript.Echo( "Boosted myself") }

Setting process priority of cscript ... but not of this instance

Context: Windows Server 2008R2, VBScript.

I want to boost every other CSCRIPT.EXE instance but not this one.

dim c dim myname dim strComputer dim objWMIService dim colProcesses dim objProcess CONST HIGH = 256 strComputer = "." Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") myname = Wscript.ScriptName WHILE TRUE c = "" Set colProcesses = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _ "Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'cscript.exe' And NOT CommandLine LIKE '%" & myname & "%'") For Each objProcess in colProcesses objProcess.SetPriority(HIGH) c = objProcess.CommandLine Next if c <> "" then WScript.Echo "Boosted " & c else WScript.Echo "Not boosting. Waiting 5 seconds." end if WScript.Sleep(5000) '5 seconds wend

So query Win32_Process for cscript.exe and a CommandLine that does not contain the name of current script. If found, boost.
