Keeping Track of Process/Killing Processes

[mcasta]

Hi,

I'm using the System Exec.vi to execute some external scripts. Is there anyway to keep track of the new processes that are being created? My goal is to time these processes so that if a process exceeds a certain time period it will be killed. Right now I'm using a VI Reference to a reentrant VI calling the System Exec.vi, which I am aborting when it exceeds the period, but the process that was created is not killed. Any ideas on how to do this?

Regards,

There is a VI on the NI site called Performance Monitor based on .NET. See if you can use it track your processes being created, or maybe modify it for your purpose.

Hi Mike,

there is an old collection of Windows Utilities on the NI website.

A VI from the winevent.llb might do the trick.
