TSTaskman is a standalone Windows GUI tool designed to show a user the list of processes running in their Terminal Server session only. Processes can then be terminated by the user by selecting the process and pressing the terminate button. This utility was written for the purpose of allowing users to terminate frozen programs or processes that exist only in the Terminal Server Session of the currently logged in user. The GUI lists all the running processes in the Terminal Session of the logged on user, and does not display any other user or system processes. This allows TSTaskman to be presented as an application on the user desktop or as a published application, giving the user the ability to manage frozen applications within a Terminal Server session, should they occur. After correct user training of TSTaskman, help desk calls can be significantly reduced by allowing users to terminate unresponsive applications, without the concerns that the user can terminate other processes not running in their session. Usage: ====== TSTaskman.EXE [exclude_list] [/a] [/?] exclude_list -- Exclude particular processes from being displayed. This option is to hide processes from the user to ensure those processes cannot be terminated by the user. Can accept multiple entries, seperated by a semi-colon. /a -- show the applications tab only. /? -- generates this usage message. E.G. TSTASKMAN.EXE iexplore.exe -- exclude iexplore.exe from being displayed in the list. TSTASKMAN.EXE iexplore.exe;ccapp.exe -- exclude iexplore.exe and ccapp.exe from list.
