Shutdown of a process on an inactive node

[Guest]

Hello,
We have a cluster with 2 nodes. One of them is the active node and the other operates as a back-up. When we switch the cluster from one node to the other we need to stop a process. can we use the cluster manager to stop the process or should we run a batch program on the active node so we can kill the process on the inactive node and how would this be done?, or is there another method?
Is the help on this in the Win2k help files, I haven't been able to find anything there to stop a process.

Thanks,

If I understand your question correctly, you want a process to run on the
active node. Looks like you are running this process seperately. You should
make it a Generic Application resource on the cluster so that the process
will fail over with the rest of the cluster resources.
