process_watcher is a nodejs c++ addon for watching for process starting by using the WMI.

Usage

If the process is already running when listener is added, it will trigger the callback.

const obj = new process_watcher.ProcessListener();

const listener = (process) => {
    console.log(process + ' opened.');
    obj.removeListener([process]);
}

obj.addListener(['notepad.exe', 'calculator.exe'],  listener);
