About Windows Process
The Windows Process action can verify that one or more particular processes are or are not running on a client system.
The Windows Process action provides these configuration elements and options:
- Continuously check the result and end the session if it changes
- Specifies Enabled or Disabled.
Note: When Enabled, if the client does not respond for five minutes, the server ends the session.
- Expression
- Specifies a Boolean expression to use to check for a process. The expression can include these wildcards: * and ?, and parentheses ( ) to combine values, and the logical operators AND, OR, and NOT. This is the syntax for a process check expression:
"*process name*" | (EXPRESSION) | NOT EXPRESSION | EXPRESSION AND EXPRESSION | EXPRESSION OR EXPRESSIONNote: Double quotes (" “) are required around each process name.
Here is an example expression: ("winlogon.exe" AND "GoogleDesktop.exe") AND NOT "gator*". The expression checks running Windows processes for the presence of the winlogon.exe and GoogleDesktop.exe processes and the absence of any process with gator in the name.
