Find, Monitor and Kill processes

Hello,

I am after some advice as to how to look to see if a process (a third party
process i.e. not one created or started by my application) is running, find
if it is idle and then kill it if it is idle.

Your help is appreciated

I'm pretty sure there was a post on the MSDN Compact framework forum to
detect if ActiveSync is running. Maybe check there or on the compact
framework gotdotNet forum.

Hope this helps.
