We have program "A" that is loaded from a Windows Server by user from
numerous locations remotely.
Many of the computers are left running 24/7 without terminating
program "A".
What I would like to do is write a program that could identify these
computers and then terminate the execution of program "A".
I am looking for a solution that does NOT involve having users of
program "A" sign in and recording their presence, rather would
interrogate the system in a network wide process.
Is this possible ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
This doesn't answer your question, but if the reason you need to do this is
to replace the program on the server with a new version (which is something
I need to do on a regular basis), you might consider running a Loader
program, which starts up, checks if they have a copy of the latest program
on their location machine, if not, it copies the program locally, then
starts the program, again, locally. In this way, no one is every running the
program on the server, and it's always available for access or modification.
If that isn't what you need, I'll let someone else answer (and be interested
in the answer as well).
Regards,
Rick
