Crashed Programs in Windows
Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2004 11:55 am
Hey all,
Not sure if this belongs here, but I didn't really see another place to put it. Basically, I'm using Windows XP right now. If I have a program that crashes in it, it will bring up a box that notifies me and all. It use to be some sort of "Error Report Service", but I managed to stop that, but of course Windows has another backup annoyance. The problem with this is that I have a few people who can remotely reboot this program by clicking a link, which triggers something called "pskill", which kills processes by their name: "pskill solitare.exe", using the System() function. Every time this box pops up after the program crashes, which of course is the time that I need people to kill the process so it can auto-start, it stops any attempt to kill the processs using Pskill.
So I guess my questions are:
Is there another way to allow people to remotely reboot a program using Windows XP? Or at least kill the process? I know people have talked about some sort of remote login, but I tried that out and it didn't really work as far as allowing remote logins.
Or
Is there a way to stop Windows from giving me this annoying box? The box comes up every time a program crashes, just simply saying "Your program blahblah.exe has noticed an error. All unsaved data will be lost.", or am I stuck here for eternity before I decide that Linux is better?
Thanks!
