What would be the best way to monitor if someone launches an app in a Terminal Server environment?
I would like to launch a "Controller" app as a user logs in. Collect their User ID (UID) drop to the system tray and watch, or just launch and watch, w/o dropping to the sys tray. The functionality of the "Controller" is to watch for when a user launches an app, Outlook for example, test to see if another should launch with it as a "Helper". An example of a helper would be a HotSync utility launching with Outlook. When Outlook closes, the HotSync utility is shutdown by the "Controller" app. The Controller has to see Outlook launch. I've looked through LanMan and it doesn't appear to be within it's capabilities. My concern is that the only way to see if a new app is launched is to constantly poll WMI for a list of the process stack and compare it to when the "Controller" app first came on line. This isn't very efficient. Would PerlSvc be the way to go?
