Re: ProcessId vs Handle

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I don't know much about the app. It's name is CMMapiAgent.exe. It is used
(by another major application) to send emails under given situations. It
appears to be a console app. By looking inside the exe file I can see a
reference to MFC42.DLL, MSVCRT.dll, KERNEL32.dll and USER32.dll. It,
apparently, uses the "CreateMailslotA" function.

The problem is, when this thing gets hung (what ever that means) and it
stops sending emails ... my client wants to find a way to be prompted when
this happens.

I am just shooting in the dark, trying to figure out a way to accomplish
this.. so I appreciate all of our comments.
