>My app runs on a network. I can shut down the app on any machine by sending a flag to a watched table. When the flag shows up the app terminates. But if my app terminates abnormaly on a machine and is not restarted and shut down properly it leaves it active in the task manager of that machine. When I need to do maintenance on the app and rebuild the exe file I have to have every instance closed. So I have to phyisicaly go to those machines and shut them down. Is there any way around this? Can I break the connection that these two or three out of 40 or 50 users have to the app when this happens?

Check out Remote Kill utility - it works in win NT and win 2000 so that if the machines where the app runs (and hangs) are running these OSs, you can use this tool. It is from Windows NT/2000 Resource kit.
