Name

Query Process — \windows\system32\qprocess.exe

Synopsis

Query Process is a simple command-line utility used to display a list of the running processes, programs running visibly in the foreground or invisibly in the background. Task Manager, which also does this, is easier to use, but less flexible. Query Process is used as follows:

qprocess [target] [/server:computer] [/system]

Option
