Consider this senario:

I have an app A, that injects a DLL into a certain process P. If the P is not running, I start it using CreateProcessEx. Now A and P are both running. Then P is closed by the user (I can catch this event - see "easiest way to know if a target app is closed"), and A is still running. Then P is restarted by the user. Now A should really re-inject the DLL into the new process P. But what is the easiest way to find out if P is restarted based on the exe-name?

The easiest way is to poll (= set up a timer and check every second). Of course that's not really nice...

True! So can you tell me the easiest, but nicest way?

There's just one easy way and that is polling (= ugly). There is no easy *and* nice way that I know of. Maybe WMI could notify you about new processes, but I've never tried that yet - and it doesn't work in all OSs by default.

Ok, then my app. must live and die with the target app.

Btw.: What is WMI?
