You also forgot to mention, are you your only user?

No?  So what is the *user* *base*?

If the user base is purely Windows, it might be better to write
this in .NET.  Such a task would be trivial using the .NET framework.

Me too. There is a command "tasklist" you can execute then.
It displays what you want. Look for it in 'help' or "tasklist/?" to get the
options

I might suggest that you do "tasklist /v /fo csv" then use "split()" in
java.

Tasklist
Displays a list of applications and services with their Process ID (PID)
for all tasks running on either a local or a remote computer.

Shraddha,

If I was not reading this as a thread I would have no idea what your
message was about. When you are replying to a message you should copy the
text from the previous message. If not, you should write a proper reply.
For example,

In reply to your message about retrieving a list of user processes
someone suggested using the ps command. As you have noted above, you are
running on a Windows machine and do not have the ps command available to
you. There are two possible answers to this problem. The first is to write
an application that will retrieve the information you need (in C, C++ or
some other language). The second is to get a utility that does what you
want. Have a look at www.sysinternals.com and see if they have something
equivalent to the UNIX ps command.

You can also check msdn.microsoft.com and see if they have a tutorial on
example processes. You can use this code to write your own utility.
