IDEA: Proxy launcher which closes app when its "done"

[mouser]

this request was inspired by a post from turtlleboy here: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=1394.0

..a program that could sense when a program has completed it's function (or goes idle) and then closes that program..

i think a commandline program that can launch another program (with normal args), but be given some instructions about when to shut down that program.

you might want to use it to launch a program and kill it after x minutes, or kill it if it uses too much cpu, or as turtleboy suggested, close it after some period of 'inactivity'.

so im thinking somthing like

[Select]

RunAndClose.exe 'notepad.exe myfile.txt' -closeafter 10minutes -closeafterinactivefor 2minutes

  My ProcessGuard can sort of do this, but maybe it's overkill?
