My application  starts several parallel processes.
			

			Each process run as a batch file(consists of set of commands).
			

			I want to check the status of the process periodically.
			

			If it is blocked for say 3 minutes,then I should declare it is failed.
			

			How can I check the status of a running process from java.
			

			Using JNI I am able to get the process Id and CPU usage.
			

			

			

			

			

			Thanx in Advance.
