Colleagues,
Imagine you have a Console type program that's supposed to start automatically by Windows Scheduler, and run permanently;
Now, imagine that the machine (WS or a Server box - regardless) is turned off (let's say for weekend, or due to reboot);
Even though Scheduler is supposed to start this program, you may want to check if that Console program is running.
And the question is:

How to programmatically (in another program) check if some certain Program is running?

TIA!

Regards,

Ilya
