4.5.11 Process Running
This monitor function requires WMI to be installed on the computer running GFI
Network Server Monitor as well as on the computer being monitored. The monitor
function will create a VBscript which uses WMI with the parameters you specify in the
check parameters dialog. WMI is only available on Windows 2000 and higher computers,
therefore this monitor function can only be used if both the GFI Network Server Monitor
computer and the computer to be monitored are running Windows 2000 or higher.
GFI Network Server Monitor can check for processes running on local and/or remote computers.
If a process is active, then the target computer is considered to be available.
