Figure 47. Process Manager Functions
After you select the Process Manager service you receive a complete list of
actually running processes. If you now select one of these processes and click
the right mouse button, you will get an additional pull-down menu as you can
see in Figure 47. The functionality of this pull-down menu depends on the
operating system of the remote workstation. You will see the differences of the
functionality when managing systems under different operating systems in
Chapter 4, “Managing Clients” on page 117. The possibilities if the remote
system runs under Windows NT are:
•
Add Process Alerts is being used to create alerts from the Process Manager.
•
Close Application is used to actually close the running process. This might
be useful if you have a hang up situation in your remote workstation, or the
user is not able to stop one of the applications.
Figure 48. Add Process Alerts
If you want to define a process alert, you can do so by using the above
mentioned pull-down menu in the Process Manager service. You will then
receive the menu shown in Figure 48, which shows the definitions of this kind of
alert. To activate a process alert, you have to provide the information requested
in the above menu.
•
Program is the definition of the process, which should be monitored, which is
actually one of the programs.
