Hi Praveen,

in your services OnStart event handler you'd start the processes you want to start and store them in an appropriate data structure (an array for example).
The OnStop event handler would then iterate over the array containing the process instances and invoke Kill() for each of them.
Te be really shure the processes where stopped check with the HasExited property of the process instance. If you want do some Win32 API magic the Handle property gives you the native Windows OS system handle of the process.

Hope this helps some.

Cheers

Manfred
