  2. Double-click the Process Monitors subtask.
  3. In the Process Monitors window, type the executable file name of the application process that you want to monitor.
  4. Select any combination of the Start, Stop, and Fail check boxes, to specify which action or actions you want to monitor.
  5. If you selected the Fail check box, type a timeout setting. This setting is the number of seconds that the process monitor will wait for the application process to start before generating a fail event.
