finding a porcess ID from the command line

[Guest]

Hello:

In UNIX/LINUX, one can detemine the process IDs from the command line. Is
there a tool (perhapse a freeware tool) or a command that can be used
similarly in the DOS shell (command window)?

Thanks,
M.

Use "Tasklist.exe" if running WinXP Pro. Run "Tasklist.exe /?" for help.

Hi Again:
Would you happen to know how to do the following in the PC/XP aommand line:
1- kill a process shown by the tasklist (similar to kill command in unix)?
2- How to run a process in the background?

Many thanks for you help!

Ron.

Well, when there is WinXP Pro installed, you also have the command line
tool "Taskkill.exe". Type "Taskkill /?" for help.

2- How to run a process in the background?

Are you talking about priorities? Type "Start /?" at the prompt.
