jProcesses

Get crossplatform processes details with Java

Installation

To install jProcesses you can add the dependecy to your software project management tool: http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jprocesses/jProcesses/1.6.4

For example, for Maven you have just to add to your pom.xml:

  <dependency>
         <groupId>org.jprocesses</groupId>
         <artifactId>jProcesses</artifactId>
     	<version>1.6.4</version>
  </dependency>

Instead, you can direct download the JAR file and add it to your classpath. http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/jprocesses/jProcesses/1.6.4/jProcesses-1.6.4.jar

The only dependency you will need to add to the classpath is WMI4Java. You can download de JAR file here.

Basic Usage

Get processes details

    List<ProcessInfo> processesList = JProcesses.getProcessList();
    
    for (final ProcessInfo processInfo : processesList) {
        System.out.println("Process PID: " + processInfo.getPid());
        System.out.println("Process Name: " + processInfo.getName());
        System.out.println("Process Time: " + processInfo.getTime());
        System.out.println("User: " + processInfo.getUser());
        System.out.println("Virtual Memory: " + processInfo.getVirtualMemory());
        System.out.println("Physical Memory: " + processInfo.getPhysicalMemory());
        System.out.println("CPU usage: " + processInfo.getCpuUsage());
        System.out.println("Start Time: " + processInfo.getStartTime());
        System.out.println("Priority: " + processInfo.getPriority());
        System.out.println("Full command: " + processInfo.getCommand());
        System.out.println("------------------");
    }

Kill process by PID

    boolean success = JProcesses.killProcess(3844).isSuccess();

Change process Priority

Unix/Mac:

    boolean ok = JProcesses.changePriority(3844, 5).isSuccess();

Windows:

    boolean ok = JProcesses.changePriority(3844, WindowsPriority.HIGH).isSuccess();

Special thanks

@jkuharev: for his help to make jProcess work on Mac

@Gobliins: for fixing executeCommand hang with lots of process using ProcessBuilder

@janhoy: for his contribution that fix long date parsing with locales different from english (Norwegian in his case)
