Monitor an Application

Post by KHeitz »

Hi,

I have the following problem.
I want to monitor an exe. This is also possible, by examining the process of application. Now I would like to bring the following. Should not be running the exe, then these should be started on the host monitor. Problem is that the executable can be started only on the console. Does anyone have any idea how can I implement it?

Sure, Process test can be used for that purpose:

Not sure I understand what do you want to implement.
If you want to start exe file on system where HostMonitor is running, just assign "Execute external program" action to Process test. Also, exe file can be started by RMA agent ("Execute by" option of Action properties dialog):

If you need to start exe on remote system, you may try PsTools, cool set of freeware command line utilities http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freew ... ools.shtml
E.g. you may use "Execute external program" action and PsExec utility to start process on remote system.
