Dont know about converting vbs to python but using Tim Golden's wmi module to trap the event of a new process starting is easy. wmi module can be found at http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi.html >>> import wmi >>> c = wmi.WMI() >>> watcher = c.watch_for ( >>> notification_type="Creation" >>> wmi_class="Win32_Process" >>> delay_secs=2, >>> Name='calc.exe' >>> ) >>> calc_created = watcher () >>> print calc_created and if you want to trap closing down of processes then change notification_type to "Deletion" -Cheers -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
