How can I get the user of a process in Java

Question

Is there any way to get the user of a process (as it is shown in the task manager) in Windows using java?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

I want a list of all the processes that are running with their users — user3652845, May 19 '14 at 13:34
You can run `tasklist` using Runtime.exec or ProcessBuilder. — Peter Lawrey, May 19 '14 at 13:34
will that also list the user names as it is shown in the task manager? — user3652845, May 19 '14 at 13:39
As suggested above, try parsing output of `tasklist.exe`. See similar question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/54686/how-to-get-a-list-of-current-open-windows-process-with-java — endragor, May 19 '14 at 13:39
I don't think this will give the user name of the process.. I mean PROCESS NAME->explorer.exe USER NAME->John Doe — user3652845, May 19 '14 at 13:43
In any case, you need to find the windows command that will give you the information you need as console output. As such it is not really a Java question. — Peter Lawrey, May 19 '14 at 14:08

You can get the process owner using this

System.getProperty("user.name");

If multiple users are logged in one system, will it show the users of all the processes? – user3652845 May 19 '14 at 13:49
