How to check process status in task manager

[sohaib_a]

I want to create a windows service that checks the status of a task in task manager.If it isnt running then restart the application.ie; it is 'Not responding' then restart. However I dont know how to get the status of the task.Will getprocessbyname() method work for this? Or is there a better way?

You can use Process.GetProcesses Method[^] to get all processes and then investigate Responding [^]property.

Beat me to it!

I guess the server I was directed to, was having a lower workload thus performing faster. :)

That's like the third time in 3 days I was beaten to it! Once was by a few seconds, I hate it! Grrrrr :mad:

So doesn't it mean that if you've posted, say 30 messages during last 3 days, you have replied just before someone else in 90% of cases and only in 10% someone else has done that. That wouldn't be bad at all. :)
