My issue is that I cannot use a vbscript on the thin clients I'm using as the host is too large for the hard drive. I am trying to make it so when a patron closes a specific program by accident, that program will auto open back up. I need to do this by simple command line if possible as the thin clients i'm pushing this to have extremely space limited memory. Basic Struct: If process running, good. Else if process not running, open program. And this type of logic needs to be running as a daemon process. Anyone know batch commands to accomplish this? Thanks.

This Batch should do the job: (tlist is from the NT-Ressource kit) ------snip @echo off VAR= PROCESS=the name of the process you want check for /f "tokens=2" %%A in ('tlist ^|find "%PROCESS%"') do set VAR=%%A if defined VAR (echo good )else( call programm ) set PROCESS= set VAR= ----------snap hope this helps uli

Thanks, that worked beautifully with a few minor custom touch ups.
