Email When A Program Is Closed?

-1

Is there any program I can run, that, when another program or service is quit that it will send an email notification? Something for Windows machines

We have a building automation program that we would like to have running at all times. We just want to be alerted by email if the program gets closed.

Thank you

Don't fall in to the XY Problem, explain what problem you are trying to solve and you are much more likely to get better answers to do whatever you are trying to do. Are you doing this for security? Are you doing it because you want to make sure a program is always running? Are you wanting to start a long running program and be notified when it is finished? Add more details of what you are trying to accomplish and you will get much more useful answers.

We need something that will notify us if our building automation program happens to get closed or crashes. We just need a notification as soon as the computer notices the process is no longer running. – Ch0ppy35 – 2013-05-21T18:13:54.280

You should edit your original question and include information like that. Also include details about the program. Is it running as a service or as a user program? Can the program be changed to run as a service if it is not currently? – Scott Chamberlain – 2013-05-21T18:35:24.660

A script can be written to do this. My examples are for VBScript. Here is a Script to List the Processes Running on the Computer. And here is a script to send an email. You can combine the two, make some tweaks and a loop, checking for a process and emailing if it does not see it.
