A couple things that I can think of:
1. Write a script that kills the process in question, and have a perfmon
session set to "run a Program" when the limits that you set are reached.
The "kill script" should be as simple as "PSKILL DLLHOST".
2. Write a script that uses the output from PSList to check the memory
usage/processor time, and kill as necessary. Put a "Sleep 30: goto TOP"
at the end of the script, and it will loop forever. Note, this uses
Processor Time, not "Processor Utilization %" which may be more what you
are looking for.
3. Figure out how ling it usually lasts before dying, and schedule a
script to run that often that will kill and restart it regardless of its
current state.
If you need help, or more info, just ask...

Conversation: [windows2000] Dllhost Error
Subject: [windows2000] Dllhost Error
Hello Guys:
Is there a way to set up a job to run that checks the dllhost.exe and if
that file is taking X amount of RAM, or Y amount of processor % to kill
that job?
We have an issue where every once in a while, our dllhost.exe file runs
wild and it needs to be killed, but right now it is a manual process.
Is there a way to automate this process?
We checked to make sure there was no virus that caused the dllhost.exe
file to run wild. What the issue is: some code that gets into an
infinite loop and causes it to crash. The code is not ours, and the
company that wrote the application refuses to acknowledge the issue, so
our only remedy is to kill the job.
Thanks for any help
Andy
