Server App monitor

[EZEason]

I need some guidance on how to develop a server app to monitor other server apps. I need to capture start time, end time, user name, and ask them user for a project code. I plan on putting the data into a SQL Database. My first thought is to write a console app that captures the data then launches the app. But I do not know how to launch an app from another app. Or, can the log file for user, start time, and end time, but I would not get the project number.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

To answer just launching an app question you just use:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(FilePathAndName)

Where of course FilePathAndName is the file path and file name of the program you wish to start. Also any command line variables it may need.
