Is it possible to get information about an item in the Processes tab of the Task Manager (Windows)

Question

I am wondering if it is possible to get information (like memory usage) about a running process which can be normally seen in the Processes tab of the Windows Task Manager. If yes, is there any way of doing it, using java?

Answer 1

Windows has a command called tasklist that gives you

Image Name                     PID Session Name        Session#    Mem Usage

You can use a Runtime.getRuntime().exec("tasklist.exe") to read that information.

Something like this:

Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("tasklist.exe");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
String line;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
    System.out.println(line);
}
