How to detect PID w/o Task Manager?

[mikes999]

Hi,

How do I find the PID numbers from the console window (not using taskmgr)?

The scenario:
I am logging into a remote W2K box via VPN/MS Telnet Server. I have admin privileges, and no access to any graphical applets. How do I learn the PID's running on the server?

Thanks,

M,S,

There are various tools in the resource kit, usually named something like xxxLIST.EXE eg PULIST.exe can list processes on a local or remote system. If you don't have the Res Kit I'm sure there are freebies out there that do the same thing! (fyi...if you want to kill a rogue process remotely you can use RKILL.exe from the res kit. It too lists the PIDs)

Thanx, richgill - you're correct, there is a TLIST.EXE utility in the resource kit, and MKS Toolkit has a whole of a variety of UNIX tools ported on NT platform - the problem was, I didn't have them on a remote server!

Eventially, I uploaded them via FTP from my home PC, but TLIST, as I suspect, didn't show ALL the processes running.

Thank you anyway!
