[hidash_in]

the below code is to list the running exe files in the windows task manager. but i need only the running applications in windows task manager.
if aybody knows pls help me by sending code for this.
i am awaiting pls.

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;


public class GetProcess {
public static List listRunningProcesses() {
List<String> processes = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
String line;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("tasklist.exe /nh");
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader
(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
if (!line.trim().equals("")) {
// keep only the process name
processes.add(line.substring(0, line.indexOf("  ")));
}


}
input.close();
}
catch (Exception err) {
err.printStackTrace();
}
return processes;
}


public static void main(String[] args){
List<String> processes = listRunningProcesses();
String result = "";


// display the result
Iterator<String> it = processes.iterator();
int i = 0;
while (it.hasNext()) {
result += it.next() +",";
i++;
if (i==10) {
result += "\n";
i = 0;
}
}
msgBox("Running processes :\n  " + result+"\n Total No of Processes: "+ processes.size());



}


public static void msgBox(String msg) {
javax.swing.JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog((java.awt.Component)
null, msg, "WindowsUtils",
javax.swing.JOptionPane.DEFAULT_OPTION);
}
}

Why are you doing System type stuff using Java? It is not designed for it. If you want a command line command to get the "application" list that appears in TaskManager, then why are you asking in a Java forum? Ask in some Windows forum somewhere.

Edit: And this is the JSP forum. What you have posted is not JSP, but rather Java (nominally).

Add the /v flag (verbose) on tasklist to see the application names "tasklist.exe /nh /v"

Pls reply someone if someone knows how to find Current running applications using java program.....

[masijade]

Why u repling so stupid ans..He wants to find current running applications using java in his application and u r repling go to wnodow prompt....If u hv some decent ans rep otherwisw no need 2 rep

Because, his question was not about how to use Runtime.exec. He, suppossedly, knew how to do that already. His question was about which command to use, and that has absolutely nothing to do with Java, and so did not belong on this forum. So the advice given (to ask on a Windows forum or do some searching on his own) was spot on. Whether you like that fact or not does not concern me.

It also had, still does not have, absolutely anything to do with JSP, even if he was asking about how to use Runtime.exec. So keep your opinions to yourself, or at least make your remarks relevant. Anything else is a simple, whining, rant.

Hi,

Did you find a way to get the applications running on windows instead of just the processes?? any help will be appreciated!

thanks!

[jack55435]

command line: tasklist /v /fi "imagenaem eq POWERPNT.EXE" for example list all applications running off POWERPNT.EXE process. The /v means verbose and that it was you are interested.

You can run this command line in any batch file.

[Nirman_1]

Use powershell get process(gps) command along with format commands to achieve this.
