Java process control

[epsonic]

Hi,
is there a possibility to find out if a process is running or not based on it's name?
Note:The process was not started in the same context.

The solution must be better than the following:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ps x | grep processname").getInputStream()
etc..
Thank you

What's the problem for that sollution?

Cheers,
Dian

It is not platform independent, and not a very stable solution.

 

[Diancecht]

I don't think you can do it platform independent.

Cheers,
Dian

ps -C processname

avoids the grep.
