I believe the system.management.instrumentation namespace provides classes to instrument an application. For example, if an application is stopped, an event will occur to get it started....

The problem is how to i determine the idle or unstable state of an application?

Welcome any advice

Hi there,

noticed that you had not had any responses and thought I would come in and offer my two cents.

I am currently looking into WMI myself but don't have anything significant to share at the moment. There is this artilce that you could read (code in VB.NET) that could give you a few pointers. I have just saved it for reading later and it could contain the answers you are looking for.

Oops, nearly forgot the article's URL - http://www.devcity.net/Articles/144/1/article.aspx

Hope that helps. Happy coding

Hi,
MS have just released some docs about software health. Mainly based around web, but there's some good ideas there.
