Hi "Crazy",
Welcome to JavaRanch!
We don't have many rules here at the ranch, but we do have a
naming policy, and your display name doesn't meet it. Please have a look at it, then head here and change yours to suit. Thanks, pardner!
Now, on to your question. You'd have to let us know what "window status" means exactly, and it wouldn't hurt to know whether "a program" means one specific program you're going to write, or any program on the machine. If you provide some more details, we'll be better able to offer advice.

You can connect the two programs so they can talk to each other through simple sockets or RMI or other more complex distributed object schemes. Google for "java sockets tutorial" or "java rmi tutorial" for tons of examples.

A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi

hi Ernest..
thanx for your interest and advice...
a> by window status i mean the status of any task going on inside the window of a program.
b> referring to your second point, the program could be any windows based program...for example WinCvs
regards,

Java doesn't offer any kind of access to the O.S.'s process list, so to do this you'd need to use native code or some other platform-specific trick.
