Hello,
I need to build a basic queue manager, in order to control our company's diary closing process, which consists on some EXE files that need to be executed in a fixed order. Actually we schedule them via the operating system (Windows NT) so they are triggered at certain hours during night, but sometimes this causes some processes to crash (ie when an EXE is triggered during another program's execution).
To avoid and solve this I think I could write a program to simulate a process queue manager, which could consist on two main components:
1. a table defining the processes to be launched and their order sequence, and;
2. a program to launch and monitor the processes in the correct order (once an EXE is launched, it should wait until it ends before launching the next one).
Can you give me ideas on how to do this and which programming tools are the most convenient? I'm planning to write this "queue manager" in Visual Basic and/or Visual C++.
Thanks for your help,
Fausto
