Linux /proc/pid/status on Windows?

Question

I use /proc/pid/status on Linux to find out the memory usage and process status.

Is it possible to do the same thing on Windows?

Answer 1

The Windows Task Manager can give you a lot of information - have you checked to see if it covers what you need?

If not Process Explorer (from SysInternals) may help.

Answer 2

If you want something CLI based, tasklist might help:

C:\>tasklist

Answer 3

I know this is an old post but I was looking for the same thing and wanted to contribute the solution I found.

The windows management console seems to be similar to /proc Just open a command windows and run wmic /? to see all the options.

To get a process list do

wmic process list

You can also format it with an xsl stylesheet. Here is mine on pastebin http://pastebin.com/ZQkbudAQ Put this in the current directory.

Then run:

wmic process list /format:mystyle > process_list.xml

The "list" command is just a dump of all property/value sets for a command.

The "get" will retrieve specific properties. Use a comma separated list.

wmic process get CSName,ExecutablePath,ProcessId
