Thanks to all of you for spending your valuable time in finding answer to my question here. However I am now answering my own question since I’ve found a hack way to get this pid on bash ver < 4 (will work on all the versions though). Here is the command: echo $$; ( F=’/tmp/myps’; … Read more
The solution for you is to use EXPLORER.exe process. The idea is to run the process in UN-ELEVATED mode, using windows’s file explorer process explorer.exe (info). Lets say the process that we want to launch is on $TEMP\MyUnElevatedProcess.exe. So, for NSIS code, I will just write: (but can be run in ANY language) Exec ‘”$WINDIR\explorer.exe” … Read more
The process table in Linux (such as in nearly every other operating system) is simply a data structure in the RAM of a computer. It holds information about the processes that are currently handled by the OS. This information includes general information about each process process id process owner process priority environment variables for each … Read more

The Linux kernel scheduler is actually scheduling tasks, and these are either threads or (single-threaded) processes. So a task (a task_struct inside the kernel), in the context of the scheduler, is the thing being scheduled, and can be some kernel thread like kworker or kswapd, some user thread of a multi-threaded process (like firefox), or … Read more
There is not any general way to do this unix. Each OS has different ways to handle it and some are very hard. You mention Linux though. With Linux, the info is in the /proc filesystem. To get the command line for process id 9999, read the file /proc/9999/cmdline.
MSDN System.Diagnostics.Process If you want to know right now, you can check the HasExited property. var isRunning = !process.HasExited; If it’s a quick process, just wait for it. process.WaitForExit(); If you’re starting one up in the background, subscribe to the Exited event after setting EnableRaisingEvents to true. process.EnableRaisingEvents = true; process.Exited += (sender, e) => … Read more
Parsing this: ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -c [-i] $ProcessName …is probably your best bet. ps aux lists all the currently running processes including the Bash script itself which is parsed out by grep -v grep with advice from Jacob (in comments) and grep -c [-i] $ProcessName returns the optionally case-insensitive integer … Read more
Technically it is possible, but it would require saving all the system-allocated resources state too – like file descriptors for example and then restoring them. So it’s a challenging task. The easiest way to achieve what you want is to use a virtual machine like VMWare. When you pause it you actually save the whole … Read more
Streams are blocking by default. TCP/IP streams, filesystem streams, pipe streams, they are all blocking. When you tell a stream to give you a chunk of bytes it will stop and wait till it has the given amout of bytes or till something else happens (an interrupt, an end of stream, an error). The operating … Read more
