Here’s the idea, I’d like to make a service? that will look for a certain program starting up and dissallow it unless certain conditions are met.

Let’s say I have a game I want to stop myself from playing during the week. So if I start it up on any day other than Friday/Saturday/Sunday, it will intercept and cancel. Is this possible with C#?

Main thing I am looking for is how to catch a program starting up, rest should be easy.

  1. Well, you can definitely determine which programs are running by looking for the process names you want (GetProcessesByName()) and killing them.

    Process[] processes = Process.GetProcessesByName(processName); foreach(Process process in processes) {    process.Kill(); }

    You could just have a list of them you didn’t want to run, do the time check (or whatever criteria was to be met) and then walk the list. I did something like this once for a test and it works well enough.
