The command assumes that it is generated by a user.

Process agent: Manages the general processes.

StatusAgent commandDescriptionNote

Online

The registered process is running.

Offline

Terminate an ongoing process by sending the termination signal (TerminateProcess) to it.

 
Monitoring

It periodically monitors whether the process runs in the memory.
It does not check the internal operation status of the process or whether a normal response is received.
For the monitoring purpose, the operational status is checked by using the process name that includes the absolute path and the process ID (PID).

 

Offline

The registered process is terminated.

Online

In the attributes of process, run the program designated in the Path.
Path attribute is the absolute path for a program existing on the system.

For instance, if you configure the program that uses the 'notepad.exe readme.txt' command as a process agent, you can express it as follows.
"Path": "c: \windows\system32\notepad.exe" "Arguments": "readme.txt"
