Start Remote Process and track the exit code

[=?Utf-8?B?U3VyZXNoIE5hZ2FyYWphbg==?=]

Hello,
I am trying to execute an application on a remote system. After checking
several of the website I was managed to write a C# application do the same.

But I am not able to track the Exit Code of the application. The return
value only tells me if the application started successfully.

Is their a way to capture the final exit code of the application that is
started remotely?

using Invoke Method
InvokeMethodOpt ions MethodOptions = new InvokeMethodOpt ions(null,
System.TimeSpan .MaxValue);

And

ManagementEvent Watcher for completion of the applicaiton.


Thanks,
Suresh

Suresh,

Can you show some code how you are starting the process in the first
place?

You can't get the "exit code" on anything less than Vista and Longhorn,
So the following only works on Vista, on XP you get the exit event but without the
ExitStatus property.

......
WqlEventQuery q = new WqlEventQuery( "Win32_ProcessS topTrace");
using(Managemen tEventWatcher w = new ManagementEvent Watcher(q)){
w.EventArrived += new EventArrivedEve ntHandler(Proce ssStoptEventArr ived);
w.Start();
Console.ReadLin e(); // block main thread for test purposes
w.Stop();
}
}
static void ProcessStoptEve ntArrived(objec t sender, EventArrivedEve ntArgs e) {

Console.WriteLi ne("Process : {0}, stopped with ExitStatus :{1},
Console.WriteLi ne("Process: {0}, Stopped with Code: {1}",
(int)(uint)e.Ne wEvent.Properti es["ProcessId"].Value,
(int)(uint)e.Ne wEvent.Properti es["ExitStatus "].Value);

}
....

Hi Willy,
Thanks for your response. I came across .NET Remoting. without looking
deep into it, wanted to know if this is something that I could use to get the
same results.

Please forgive my ignorance. I am a newbie to C#.

Thanks,
Suresh
