Process Tracking Program
We are looking for a standalone application that can post an event to the windows application log for every process that starts on the machine within a time frame specified from a command line parameter.
Ideal requirements:
- standalone app ( would like to minimize dependencies as this program would be run on a variety of machines with no guarantee of having java / perl installed.)
- run on windows server 2k3, vista, xp platforms
- command line interface accepting parameters for us to specify the time window to log started processes and the event ID that would be generated in the application log on the windows machine.
- generated event log would list any associated network ports with the process and any calling process.
Wishful thinking:
- the application would start at a scheduled time, monitor and log process initiation during the specified time window then terminate on its own.
What we intend to do with it:
- use the application in a variety of command line managment scripts and deployed to select machines for troubleshooting purposes.
