C/C++:Can't Use "ssh/rsh ... ps ..." To Windows: cygwin not allowed, application conflicts

[clusardi2k]

vbscript and/or javascript is most likely what I want to use!

From a SGI and a Linux box with a known PID, how do I determine if

that process is running on a Windows computer? Please explain to me
how to do this with vbscript and/or with javascript! Which language
is better? Speed is a very important limitation, so which language
is faster in batch processing?

On unix, I would use something such as "ps -p<PID>" to determine
the activity of a process.

I am forbidden to install and use things such as cygwin because
they slow down the system too much.

rsh and ssh conflict with other applications already running on
the computer, so I can't use them.

How different is Perl from vbscript? Should I go out and buy
another book or can you give me a small script (which is easily
understandable) to do the task? You can use "ps" with "popen" in
your script. Please tell me how to run your script?

How could I use your script with C and C++? Could you give me a
simple "ps -p" like program that executes on Windows and is useable
by C/C++? Or, am I restricted to using a C/C++ "system" call with
your script?

Thank you,
Christopher Lusardi

Then why do you post to comp.lang.perl.misc?

Oh, by the way, *PLONK*

Then, do you have a Perl question, too?

Do they have anything in common?

Whos script? It is customary in this NG to post what you have so far, then
people are glad to improve your code.
Asking for someone to write the script for you is very much frowned upon.
There is perl.jobs.offered somewhere.

How could I use your script with C and C++? Could you give me a
simple "ps -p" like program that executes on Windows and is useable
by C/C++? Or, am I restricted to using a C/C++ "system" call with
your script?

Whos script are you talking about?
