I would actually want to monitor 3 programs and be emailed(cdo) rather than msgboxed if one or all dissapeared from the task manager process list. I can't change the program to write to the registry as i didn't write it and i would be stepping on some toes. more importantly, my knowldge of VB is pretty limited, anyhoo. I would rather just rig this script to do the above mentioned things.

The standard way I do this is to put a heartbeat in the program to write status info to the registry every (say) minute including the current time. You then monitor the registry key whenever you want to know what is happening.

My question is, is there anyway to monitor if this process has stopped? Perhaps with a perl script. Since its not a service, I don't really know how to do this. Also, it doesn't log anything to the event log. i couldn't find anything on my perl groups and you guys seem pretty knowldgable on scripting so i just thought i'd take a shot in the dark and post here. thanks and my apologies for the way OT.
