Query Process is a simple, command-line utility used to display a list of the running processes. A process is essentially any program running in the foreground or running invisibly in the background. “Task Manager”, discussed later in this chapter, does the same thing, but is much easier to use.
Query Process takes the following parameters:
-
target Target can be any of the following: Specify a username to display the processes started by that user. Specify a session name or number (via
/id:sessionid) to display all the processes started in that session. Specify a program name to display all the processes associated with that program. Specify an asterisk (*)to list all processes. Finally, omittargetto display all the processes started by the current user.-
/server:computer Query a remote computer, where
computeris the network name of the machine. Omit to display processes for the local computer.-
/system Include system processes. Type
qprocess * /systemto display all the currently running processes.
