How to know if an application is running on XP or not

[alex.]

Is there any simple command, script or API can check if an application is still running on XP?

Firstly, the aaa.exe will exit, but it will take a bit time to terminate. bbb.exe need to check if aaa.exe has really exit.

After aaa.exe really exit, bbb.exe will overwrite aaa.exe with new copy and call aaa.exe again.

Hi turbot,

this link can help. You can also try to get a handle to your application. There is a Win API call "Get Handle by Name". It's part of user32.dll.

Here is a VI using LabVIEW .net functions to get all process names.  Same as using the task manager to get the processes.
