Restart an aplication on remote computer

[kadara]

Hi,
I have a running application (whatever.exe) on a remote computer. That executable sometimes not working properly and need to be relunch it. How could I restart this executable on that computer?

Forcefully:

strComputer = "computer_name"
strProcess = "file.exe"
set colProcesses = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name='" & strProcess & "'")
if colProcesses.count <> 0 then
	for each objProcess in colProcesses
		objProcess.Terminate()
	next
end if

set objShell = Wscript.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
objShell.Run "c:\path\to\file.exe"

Gracefully? ... I would guess AppAtivate and sendkeys, but this is rather tedious, imo.

Also, PsExec can be used to execute a program on a remote machine:
