Listing All Running Processes
This section provides a tutorial example on how to use command 'tasklist' to get a list of all processes that are currently running.
To get a simple list of all running processes on your Windows system, you can run the "tasklist" command with default options:
C:\herong>tasklist Image Name PID Session Name Session# Mem Usage ========================= ==== ============ ======== ========= System Idle Process 0 0 28 K System 4 0 232 K smss.exe 504 0 400 K csrss.exe 556 0 6,332 K winlogon.exe 584 0 1,944 K services.exe 628 0 8,464 K lsass.exe 640 0 1,692 K svchost.exe 800 0 3,988 K svchost.exe 860 0 4,444 K svchost.exe 952 0 17,740 K svchost.exe 1060 0 3,500 K svchost.exe 1104 0 3,308 K spoolsv.exe 1320 0 7,136 K msdtc.exe 1520 0 5,068 K httpd.exe 1612 0 4,612 K FrameworkService.exe 1640 0 5,728 K Mcshield.exe 1676 0 64,116 K VsTskMgr.exe 1700 0 376 K httpd.exe 1720 0 6,100 K naPrdMgr.exe 1736 0 1,172 K MsDtsSrvr.exe 1788 0 14,120 K wdfmgr.exe 2300 0 1,912 K hpqwmiex.exe 2344 0 4,200 K explorer.exe 3200 0 27,924 K smax4pnp.exe 3396 0 4,224 K accelerometerST.exe 3412 0 1,752 K SynTPEnh.exe 3420 0 5,032 K QLBCTRL.exe 3428 0 5,304 K Scheduler.exe 3460 0 6,980 K CLI.exe 3476 0 7,196 K shstat.exe 3484 0 632 K UpdaterUI.exe 3492 0 1,716 K GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe 3544 0 452 K YahooMessenger.exe 3584 0 39,496 K wmiprvse.exe 3836 0 5,336 K ApacheMonitor.exe 3872 0 2,564 K MDM.EXE 2480 0 3,008 K CLI.exe 3536 0 7,224 K firefox.exe 5892 0 45,596 K cmd.exe 3224 0 2,988 K wmiprvse.exe 4548 0 6,220 K tasklist.exe 4660 0 4,468 K
