So, here's my problem. I have multiple servers running various applications, all of which run a specific number of instances. Process monitor works great for anything with only one instance, and I have been figuring out how to use script monitoring for the others, based on the instance count script template.

As the developers here have (finally) been getting these applications ready for me to move them server 2008, I have encountered a problem on the monitoring end of things. If I open an application called example.exe and choose to run ten instances, the first one to open will be called EXAMPLE.EXE (all caps) and the other nine will be example.exe (all lowercase). So, when I run the instance count script, it sees nine running, not ten.

Currently, I just have to set up a separate process monitor to just watch the process in all caps, and a script for the lowercase, but I'm hoping to find a way to simplify this. My current setup is sending so many emails that people are ignoring them, or missing some of them.

So, if the question isn't obvious, is there a way to get the script monitor to either (a) ignore case sensitivity or (b) combine the instance count for the 2 separate processes? Either one of these would yield the same result, so I'm not picky.

Thanks in advance for any help.
