I am looking for a way to perform a windows task whenever an application starts. I need to run a VBS or BAT whenever an app starts (it starts with a second app after the user has entered their login and password in it)...

Does anyone know if this is possible? Can I create a Rigger or something? a service that keeps reading the windows log and if "X" application starts it does something?

  • Don’t you know where to put it? Or how to call/run the application? Do you know which is the script what needs to be called? You created this application that needs to call the script?

Let’s assume you want to run the y.exe whenever the x.exe is executed. What you can do is:

  1. Rename the x.exe for z.exe.
  2. Create a new program x.exe to execute both, the z.exe and the y.exe, passing on to z.exe the same command line parameters received (or if interesting, some different parameters).

You can create a service that monitors the list of active processes and detects the presence of the application in question.

If you are going to use . NET, the list of processes can be accessed with System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses().
