Managing tasks remotely
The Task Manager lets you view and control applications and processes that are
running on the host computer to which you are connected. This feature functions
like the Windows Task Manager except that commands are run on the host
computer (for example, a support customer's computer). The results are displayed
on the remote computer (for example, a helpdesk computer) in the pcAnywhere
Session Manager window.
See “Viewing or changing process status” on page 149.
Viewing or changing program status
The Applications tab in the Task Manager window lets you view the status of
programs that are running on the host computer, as well as start and stop
programs.
