Stream app manager - opens and closes other apps

[RedIon1992]

I plan on streaming iRacing, and for that game there's plenty of client-side apps which can be run to help enhance the stream with information overlays (leaderboards, car positions, etc.), as well as run local hardware to provide information. I run a piece of software called iAppStarter (http://www.fulhack.org/iappstarter/) which automatically launches these helper apps, among others, and can close them off when the game exits. However, I don't always want some of these apps launched, as they only relate to playing the game on-stream. Is it possible for someone to create a similar tool, which takes a list of applications to run when OBS is started, and load those, then clean them up when OBS exits?

You will have to capture all the open apps with a different source for each one. At that point you can place them where you want and turn for on or off on OBS.

That wasn't quite what I was getting at. I wanted the apps to launch when I started OBS, and exit when I closed OBS. Preferably with some more control than that (some stay open, etc.) I have most of these already set up with sources in OBS, it's just (this is a software development request, nothing is ever as simple as "just") a matter of starting the processes in the background.
