I’m doing web scraping and I need to know when batches get done, if a database fails, if the internet is down, etc. I just need to launch 5-6 command prompts so that each one can download pages at the same time.

    I’ve used Win32::Proccess::Info to get running process Info/PID, Win32::Process::Kill and System to launch a script.

    With those tools you can monitor, create, & stop processes in windows.

    If you describe the types of tasks you are working with I’m sure you can get a better answer.
