- This archive contains 3 little programs I wrote after I changed
- my NT setup over from a grphical based on to a command line/text
- setup. (Write me for information about this if you are curious)
-
- The 3 programs contained here are compiled for the CONSOLE under
- NT.
-
- KILL.EXE - Usage KILL <process id>
- - This will FORCEABLY terminate a program. This is
- - the same result as if you had selected the program
- - under TASK MANAGER and selected End Task.
- - You may get the process ID from PS.EXE or thru
- - PVIEW/PSTAT.
-
- PS.EXE - Usage PS
- - Shows which processes are running (non-kernel ones).
- - The following information is given:
- Handle (HWND)
- Process ID (PID)
- Priority (IDLE,NORM,HIGH,REAL)
- IDLE - Process only executes if the
- - CPU is idle OR it is the forground
- - window
- NORM - Has a "normal" priority
- HIGH - Has a higher than normal priority
- REAL - Has the HIGHEST priority (REAL-TIME)
- User Time (UTIME)
- This is the amount of time the process has
- spent doing "user" things (reading keyboard,
- outputting to screen, etc...)
- Kernel Time (KTIME)
- This is the amount of time the process has
- spent inside the KERNEL (calling KERNEL
- functions, etc ...)
- Name (NAME)
- The name of the process (if any)
-
- NICE.EXE - Usage NICE <process id> <priority>
- - Sets the priority of a process (see PS.EXE)
- - <priority> is the actual string "NORM","IDLE", etc ..
-
-
- Examples:
-
- [d:\users\nicholas\distribute]ps
- HWND PID PRIO UTime KTime NAME
- 3600c4 81 HIGH 00:00:06 00:00:04 cmd.exe - ps
- 2e00ce 97 NORM 00:00:04 00:00:02 WOW Exec
- 1c0120 92 NORM 00:00:10 00:00:03 Notepad - read.me
- 270068 89 HIGH 00:00:00 00:00:00 Task List
- 170062 97 NORM 00:00:04 00:00:02 wowexec
- 1b0064 132 HIGH 00:00:00 00:00:00 NetDDE Agent
-
- [d:\users\nicholas\distribute]kill 97
-
- [d:\users\nicholas\distribute]ps
- HWND PID PRIO UTime KTime NAME
- 3600c4 81 HIGH 00:00:07 00:00:06 cmd.exe - ps
- 1c0120 92 NORM 00:00:13 00:00:03 Notepad - read.me
- 270068 89 HIGH 00:00:00 00:00:00 Task List
- 1b0064 132 HIGH 00:00:00 00:00:00 NetDDE Agent
-
- [d:\users\nicholas\distribute]nice 81 IDLE
-
- [d:\users\nicholas\distribute]ps
- HWND PID PRIO UTime KTime NAME
- 3600c4 81 IDLE 00:00:08 00:00:06 cmd.exe - ps
- 1c0120 92 NORM 00:00:13 00:00:03 Notepad - read.me
- 270068 89 HIGH 00:00:00 00:00:00 Task List
- 1b0064 132 HIGH 00:00:00 00:00:00 NetDDE Agent
-
- Note that both "WOW Exec" and "wowexec" were kill. This is because
- they had the same PID number (I assume because the two processes
- are obviously tied to either other).
