Get Window running process

[JF Fortier]

Hi,

 

Going to FM19, I'm updating some old plugin and I need to know if an application is running or not on the client PC. I used Moo Plug for years and it work

https://mooplug.com/docs/functions/moo_processrunning ** Edit: A new x64 version is on the way, Adam send me a beta version  **

I'm trying this code

try {
    String line;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec
    (System.getenv("windir") +"\\system32\\"+"tasklist.exe");
    BufferedReader input =
            new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
    while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
        System.out.println(line); //<-- Parse data here.
    }
    input.close();
} catch (Exception err) {
    err.printStackTrace();
}

 

I know nothing about Java or Groovy, but it look like it's sending data in the "while" one by one and at the end the input.close flush the result and I get nothing ?!?!

So from the return value I could test if my process is running or not.

If someone could shed some light, it will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

By reversing engineering many script and code on the web, I wrote the script like this and it return what I need to have, so for anyone looking to get the list of all running process on windows, use it freely 😁

 

TaskList = ''
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec (System.getenv("windir") +"\\system32\\"+"tasklist.exe /nh "   )
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
     {
    TaskList = TaskList + line + '\n'
    }
return TaskList

Using this will only bring the process name in a list, no more useless data

TaskList = ''
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec (System.getenv('windir') +'\\system32\\' + 'tasklist.exe /nh /fo csv' )
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
     {
     line = Eval.me('[' + line + ']')
    TaskList += line.get(0) + '\n'
    }
return TaskList
