Tasklist — \windows\system32\tasklist.exe

Synopsis

Tasklist is used to list running processes from the command line. Tasklist works together with Taskkill, discussed earlier in this chapter, to provide command-line equivalents to the functionality provided by the Processes tab in Task Manager. Tasklist takes the following command-line parameters:

tasklist [/s system [/u username [/p [password]]]]
    [/m [module] | /svc | /v] [/fi filter]
    [/fo format] [/nh]

The /s, /u, and /p options are identical to those documented under Taskkill, earlier in this chapter.

Option	Description
/m [ module ]	Lists all tasks that have DLL modules loaded that match the pattern, module. If module is omitted, all modules are shown.
/svc	Displays the services in each process.
/v	Verbose mode; display all available information.
/fi filter	Filter the task list with the specified criteria.
/fo format	Specifies the format of the display: type /fo table (the default) for a formatted table, /fo list, for a plaint text list, or /fo csv for a comma-separated report, suitable for importing into a spreadsheet or database.
/nh	Turns off the column headers.
