Hello Martyn,

You would really have to monitor *all* possible processes to do what you
speak of (AFAIK). I would pick the ones that are the most likely to go
awry, and focus on monitors for them.

You can always write bat files to check for process (or lack of one) via
nrpe - the nrpe_nt windows stuff had some good examples last time I
checked - they are not that complicated and quite flexible, you just
have to ensure you send nrpe_nt the proper exit code based on the
problem/symptom... (This is assuming you meant "processes", and not
"processors" , as that would be hardware).. ;)

Cheers,
Jamie
