In some cases Windows truncates process names that exceed 15 characters.
You may check process name on system, where process is started, using Windows Task Manager.
E.g. on Windows XP SP3, process name, started from network drive, will be truncated to 15 characters.
So, file Infodoc.ServiceHost.WindowsService.exe will be truncated to Infodoc.Service
You may use Test properties dialog to retrieve list of processes with actual (truncated) names. |

When you report some problem, please always tell us what exactly software do you use.
- Windows?
- Service Pack?
- HostMonitor version?
For example we just tested HostMonitor version 8.86 using processes like Infodoc.ServiceHost.WindowsService and other with similar names on Windows XP SP3, Windows 7x64 and we cannot reproduce the problem. HostMonitor works fine.
(unless you start process from network drive on Windows XP, but its not HostMonitor fault. Windows cuts name but you see the same truncated name when you select process to monitor using Test Properties dialog or Windows Task Manager)

I am quite embarrassed right now. I've messed up the ip addresses and the test has been performed on a server witch the service do not reside (and of course it fails).
After changing to correct ip address, the test runs fine. Sorry for bothering you with false alarm..
If you're still interested I have a drawing of my environment: http://wsustot.ndsdrift.no/DAK/ScrShots/Infrastucture.jpg |
