Using Process Class on Remote Machines

I have a program that returns a list of processes running on a remote
machine. For the most part it works fine, but if the application is a
VB6 app it returns an exception:

"Feature is not supported for remote machines"

I am trying to determine if a third party app is running on a remote
machine, and if its not...kill it and restart it.

Unfortunetly it is a VB6 process I need to return...is anyone aware of
an alternative method or a workaround to do this? Thanks for your
help/suggestions!

I figured it out. It wasn't because it was a VB6 app...it was because
the process name had a "." (decimal) in it. As soon as I renamed the
file and removed the decimal it worked!

Hi, I am working on a project where I need to start processes on remote machines, across mac, linux, windows from one server or 'manager' machine. For now, I only need to implement a 'wait' type command , so I can wait for the remote machine to finish, everything is synchronized in this respect.
