Perhaps you should turn it around.Develop a monitoring service for the machines that need monitoring and have it send the WMI parameters to a central machine which then processes the data.In this way the integrity of the systems will remain in tact and you also will have less trouble with...

Its the third time that you have posted a question like this. You don't need a keylogger, remote spy, whatever. What you need is attitude adjustment. It seems you have a problem trusting people. Unfortunately, no one can write a program like that for you. You have to do it on your own.

I'm developing a big project to monitor a remote machine's performance parameters like CPU,Memory,Diskspace through C# WMI. I want to use the minimum possible credentials to connect the remote machines. Because I don't want to bother my client to ask for the super-user credentials. Its sure that...

HiIm using C#.There is an option to monitor file access by thread (single or multi) in real time? and when thread access to the specific file i would like to fire event.I've found ways to watch directories or files change, but in my case the file is not gonna changeThanks a lot.

Hi @analogx. You are right, I were not using hooks properly, but it has been rare. Firstly, about setWindowsHookEx function, I have read WH_CALLWNDPROC or WH_SYSMSGFILTER must be used to get WM_SYSCOMMAND sent messages, and then get SC_SCREENSAVE wParam. In this case, I don't know why and maybe...

If you do not know how to start then I would suggest spending some time working through the Java Tutorials[^]. As to Netbeans or Eclipse, my preference would be Eclipse, although you really need to try both to decide for yourself.

Hi. I would like to create an application that would monitor processes that are opened. I want to use it to monitor how often do I open my mp3 files. The program would run in background and count the number of times I run each mp3 file and later I would sort my mp3 files based on this number....
17 May 2015 by Dave Kreskowiak
There is no "easy" way to do this. You'd have to poll the handle table of your MP3 player process every once in a while to see which files it has open.This[^] is a little hint as to how Process Monitor does it.

I have come up with something on my own. It should be enough to use this library psutil in Python 2.7. My process name will be constant, because I always use the same program to run my mp3 / video files.1. Find PID of my process2. When I have the PID i can check what files are currently...

Hi, I've been working on small project which should monitor print queues using c#. The thing that I'm strugling is how to take number of copies and totalpages before printing using c#? I used ManagementObject properties but it did another job which I don't expect.Could you help?Thanks...
15 Feb 2016 by Duncan Edwards Jones
Not really, no.You are reading the properties of the print job as it is added to the spooler. At this point the spooler / print subsystem does not know how many pages it is going to receive because it is receiving them asynchronously...what you need to do is pause the print side until...
12 May 2016 by KarstenK
The first mistake you make is to the path in Program Files. Use some temp directory if really needed.If you want the page size, you must run the print commands. I found the nice article about printing which will show you the needed basics about printing and should help you solving your problem.

You shouldn't get "pauses" on Windows 10 since the scheduler is pretty good, however:1) Pauses could indicate cpu heat problems, so check your system's fans and clean and lubricate them (WD40 is excellent).2) Disconnect from the internet and see if you still have problems.3) Update your...

It's hard to answer based on this description. If you've written a client that tries to behave like many clients, it really isn't a client. And if it's running on the same system as the server, it will obviously interfere with it. With regard...
