From: cate on 6 Aug 2010 12:15 I need a script that will run abc.exe and insure that it returns within a limited time. If it doesn't I need to kill it and send mail. I can send mail and killing a process should be easy (never done it in windows), but how do you start and monitor in jscript/vbscript? I would like just an outline of how to do this please (an example would be great). I'm sure there are many examples out there, but I'm not asking the right questions. In perl I'd fork, but I have NO clue how to do this in windows. Thank you.
