kulcsarbence Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Hello I am new in this programming language. I wanna know how can I create a program, which monitors that what program did the user start. For example: When I run xy.exe, then it writes into a file like this: Program [xy.exe] started... And when I close it then it writes: Program [xy.exe] ended. So the program automatically recognize that what program did I open. Thanks for help!
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted June 18, 2013 Moderators Posted June 18, 2013 Hi, kulcsarbence. Are you meaning you want to write out to a log file for every program started, or just looking for when a specific program starts? Maybe if you explain what exactly you're trying to accomplish, and with what program(s), it would be easier to direct you. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.

BrewManNH Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 What is the purpose of this? You could always run a ProcessList command in a loop and watch for differences in what's running at each iteration. It would probably slow your system down considerably though depending upon how often it's checked. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

guinness Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Depending on how proficient you are with AutoIt, have a search for WM_SHELLHOOK and $HSHELL_WINDOWDESTROYED, $HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED. You might need to use Google or such-like to get an idea of how to implement this. You will also need to understand GUIRegisterMsg. Have fun!

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted June 20, 2013 Moderators Posted June 20, 2013 Are you the administrator of this network, or just doing this on your own?

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted June 20, 2013 Moderators Posted June 20, 2013 Are they Windows domains though?? You can turn on auditing in A.D. to get a lot of what you're after.

blckpythn Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Yes they are, but I also do some breakfixes in domains that I don't manage.
