Hello

I'm new 2 java and new 2 this forum.

I'm a uni student and i'm intrested in developing a lan based application in java that monitors processes running on each pc on lan and which can be monitored by the lan admin from the server.

Please guide me to relevant urls and books and would appreciate if you would share your knowledge on the subject matter.

Thanks

Fahad

Right, well... to check out running processes (or any network monitoring) I wouldn't recommend Java.
Java is a great language, however, it' limited, due to it not being 'close' enough to the OS. For example, to check all the running processes, you must use JNI (which I REALLY do not recommend for Java noobs. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...1.1/index.html).
The only alternative would be to do it in C/C++.

If you want to code this monitoring system yourself, I recommend you start learning to program now! lol.

Because, network monitoring isn't easy, nor is C/C++ itself!! lol.

Good luck,
Rob D.
