Hi Park,

If you download pstools from:

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/pstools.shtml

and run "pslist -t" it shows you the process tree.
(There is also a Win2K ResourceKit utility "ptree" which I believe does the
same thing).

Which tells me that there is Windows API which exposes the parent-child
relationship of processes.
May be that is what is needed to finish it off.

Assuming I get hold of the pid for "ping", I guess, I will have to replace
the following line of your modification:

hProcess = OpenProcess.Call(0x100001, 1 , f.pid)
                                                                     ^^^^
with:

hProcess = OpenProcess.Call(0x100001, 1 , ping_pid)

Right ?

I will try ... but I am not as comfortable with Windows API as you are ...so
I might call for help again ;-)

Thanks a lot, again, Park.
