ok, here's the situation, i'm trying to monitor multiple processes on lets say a single server to start with. i'm using a process monitoring tool that basically looks at a certain process and tells me how its doing......CPU usauge, memory usuage.......if the process is running, things of this nature. the promblem is that the processes i'm monitoring are all named the same thing, lets say example.exe so you can't tell which one is which.....so i thought to go by the PID, however each process is restarted daily and each time its unique PID changes.....so my question is does anyone know how to "lock" a processes PID to it???? i know you can change them in UNIX, but this has to be Windows??? a response would be most appreaciated......... or if anyone feels that this question belongs in another forum, please let me know
