You can start an application using CreateProcess.
If you plan to run the process from a service, you may need to use CreateProcessAsUser or CreateProcessWithLogonW or CreateProcessWithTokenW instead.

To monitor a process there are several functions available like GetProcessMemoryInfo, InitializeProcessForWsWatch, GetProcessIoCounters, QueryProcessCycleTime etc.

To kill a process, you can use the TerminateProcess function, but this is not recommended as this is an unconditional termination. Instead you must have some sort of built in mechanism in the process for it to terminate itself. This could be by sending a message or by setting an event if you want to control it from a service.
