Jason - thanks for your response. ----- Original Message ---- From: Jason Passow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Servers Alive Discussion List <salive@woodstone.nu> Sent: Thursday, 1 March, 2007 3:00:14 PM Subject: Re: [SA-list] How to check WINWORD.exe in Task Manager
You can use the NT process check to accomplish this. Depending on the length of your check cycle and time in between you will want to alert on x times down. You could actually just in the alert execute command to kill winword. I would be concerned though that they would lose work. Perhaps generating an alert and you calling them or using remote administrator be sure they aer not actively using word. Winword is a memory resident program and will most often remain in memory. This is not indicative of a problem. Perhaps you have not yet found the underlying cause of the issue.

Users of our PeopleSoft system output their reports in MS Word, but sometimes WINWORD.EXE gets stuck in Task Manager and as a result all the jobs just queue up. I want to use SAlive to check if WINWORD.EXE gets stuck in Task Manager for more than 5mins I get alerted. Any suggestions are most welcomed.
