deprecated has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

We're running an NT cluster here for some massive-scale OCR'ing. The problem with this is that Adobe's software, Capture, is superbuggy and crashes frequently. However, it's tough to keep track of all the separate NT boxes, so sometimes we dont find out a process has crashed until even a week later, and then we have to play catchup with that particular box.

I'd like to know if somebody out there has written a script to keep track of whether a particular process is still running on an NT box. I know how I'd do it on unix.

thanks,
brother dep.
