Monitoring Tool

[itkid]

Hi, We have VC++ application running on server which goes down sometime. Is there any inbuild tool which run on my desktop and do the monitoring of xyz.exe (running on server) from task manager.Please let me know if you know any such tool. Appreciate your time. Thanks Pankaj

Define 'monitoring'. I have many, many monitoring tools that monitor different aspects of process behaviour (RegMon, FileMon, ProcMon, TcpView, Wireshark, etc etc).

Just to monitor whether xyz.exe is running or stopped. Either by showing status as green when exe is running and Red when exe stop on client desktop.

Task manager?

How about using EnumProcesses to check if your exe is listed in the process names?

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Task Manager display on server where exe run however I need something show on my desktop.

In that case, I'd suggest pslist[^], as it can list the processes running on a remote computer. It's free, it's sanctioned by Microsoft and (like all the other SysInternals tools) it gets the job done!

How about Remote Task Manager?
