I'm looking to write something in VB.Net (2005) that will monitor a process on a windows 2003 server and if it runs for more than X amount of time, terminate it. <br />
<br />
In a nutshell, the server has a program that is launched from a remote PC to run a report and occasionally locks up. Since the user doesn't have access to the server, they keep trying to launch the report again and again but finally give up. I know from past experience I can terminate the process using pskill or taskill, I'm just looking for a way to automate it. Basically, if the &quot;x process&quot; runs for more than a minute, kill it...<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance,<br />
<br />

How to monitor a Process in windows 2003 and Terminate IT.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
