>>Script Language and Platform: VBScript This script finds the number of process instances running on a server. Usage: cscript MonitorTask.vbs "distrib.exe" "2" "c:\taskmonitor.log" "MyServer" parameters Explained "distrib.exe" = ProcessName

"2" = Number of Instances that we are looking for "c:\taskmonitor.log"= Log File Location "MyServer"= Servername Result: Type "c:\taskmonitor.log" you will see the following results : ServerName =MyServer: ProcessName =distrib.exe : Number of given instances to monitor is =2 : Number of running instance 2: Date=11/16/2004 9:06:50 AM : ServerName =MyServer: ProcessName =notepad.exe : Number of given instances to monitor is =2 : Number of running instance 0: Date=11/16/2004 9:07:17 AM
