Hi,
I don't even know if this is doable or not, but I'd like to know if it's possible through a web page with no server access (ie no php, asp, etc...) to check if a specific program is running in the background, if it is, to somehow indicate it?

Not with HTML or Javascript...You could do a java applet or some kind of activex control to do it and embed it in the webpage.

it is possible... but not in real time. you just have to output the information to a text file. in linux, use the ps command.. like ps > ps.html.. you can set a cron job to output it every 5 mins or whatever interval you want.
on windows, you would probrobly need to find the command line equivalent of PS and use the AT command to output the file every 5 mins or so.

How can I do an activeX to do it? I've never tried that... Know of any spots that would give a rundown?
