How do you list all processes on the command line in Windows?

Is there a command equivalent to 'ps' on Unix that can list all processes on a Windows machine?

Working with cmd.exe:

tasklist

If you have Powershell:

get-process

Via WMI:

wmic process

(you can query remote machines as well with /node:ComputerOrIP, and there are a LOT more ways to customize this command: link)

There is a tool called Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line tool (wmic.exe).

You can call wmic process list to see all processes.

I wanted to mention that WMIC (pam's entry) can do a lot more. Have a look at my WMIC snippets page, which is a cheatsheet showing many of the common ways to use WMIC (with sample output shown) here

1. Tasklist

2. WMIC /OUTPUT:C:\ProcessList.txt PROCESS get Caption,Commandline,Processid

or

 WMIC /OUTPUT:C:\ProcessList.txt path win32_process get Caption,Processid,Commandline

I tried on Windows 7. The command is: TASKLIST /FI "IMAGENAME eq application_name"

Eg: c:\>TASKLIST /FI "IMAGENAME eq notepad.exe"

To show all process with port details:

c:\> TASKLIST

Also to kill the process you can use c:\> pskill or tskill processname

Eg: c:\> tskill notepad
