How to check a Process is running or not ?

[friends 0]

hi all.

I wonder can we check a networked computer's Process is running or not ?

If can... how ? I know there is a ProcessExists() command, but I tested to

check the networked PC, I couldn't find the solution.

Anybody knows how ? I wanted to check on other networked PCs, if a

particular Process is running, for example, the "notepad.exe" process.

Your help or suggestion is very much appreciated. Thank you.

You can't with autoit.

Try pslist from http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml

Hi,

I have quite the same problem, I think the key is to launch your script directly on the remote PC.

To do this, you can try PsExec (again from Sysinternals ( it's free)

or RemoteExec (from Isdecisions ... commercial)

but assuming this is done, the processexist command should work... anyway it seems to work for me

If it is possible to have a process execute on the terminal you want to monitor processes on then just create a script that checks for said process, throw the result in a text file and have your local script check the text file for the result.

thanks for you guys providing useful information.

i have written a AutoIT script, and it has to be executed in

the remote PC.
