is-consenting

Tells if consent.exe (uac) is running.

Install

  npm i @mh-cbon/is-consenting --save

Usage

As a simple callback

var isConsenting  = require('@mh-cbon/is-consenting');

isConsenting.now(function (err, p) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log("UAC is running now: %s", !!p);
  p && console.log("%j", p);
})

As an event stream

Every time a node process enters / leaves, an event is emitted

var isConsenting  = require('@mh-cbon/is-consenting');

var s = isConsenting.esPsList(/^node/)
.on('enter', function (p) {
  console.log('a node process appeared')
  console.log("%j", p);
}).on('leave', function (p) {
  console.log('a node process left')
  console.log("%j", p);
})

var c = require('child_process').spawn('node')
c.on('close', function () {
  s.once('leave', s.close.bind(s))
})
setTimeout(function () {
  c.kill();
}, 500)

Pass true as a second argument, to ignore existing process and catch only new ones,

var s = isConsenting.esPsList(/^node/, true)
.on('enter', function (p) {
  console.log('a node process appeared')
  console.log("%j", p);
})
.on('leave', function (p) {
  console.log('a node process left')
  console.log("%j", p);
})
.on('end', function (p) {
  console.log('end')
})
.resume()

var c = require('child_process')
.spawn('node')
.on('close', function () {
  s.once('leave', s.close.bind(s))
})
setTimeout(function () {
  c.kill();
}, 500)

Close

As an event-stream, it is an infinite stream, thus, you are required to call the close method to free any pending operations.

close method will end the stream.
