scriptRunning() Netscript Function

scriptRunning(scriptname, hostname/ip)

Arguments:

• scriptname (string) – Filename of script to check. This is case-sensitive.
• hostname/ip (string) – Hostname or IP of target server

RAM cost:

1 GB

Returns a boolean indicating whether any instance of the specified script is running on the target server, regardless of its arguments.

This is different than the isRunning() function because it does not try to identify a specific instance of a running script by its arguments.

Examples:

The example below will return true if there is any script named foo.script running on the foodnstuff server, and false otherwise:

scriptRunning("foo.script", "foodnstuff");

The example below will return true if there is any script named “foo.script” running on the current server, and false otherwise:

scriptRunning("foo.script", getHostname());
