how to check process id on windows

[jadoocian]

I did a search on google, found an answer, but forgot it. I searched again and just can't find that link again!

I want to a list of all the processes runnin on my windows (vista) machine with their respective PID's.

The command was a one word command that you can type into the prompt window and it would list processes and their id's.

anyone know what it is? thanks!

The Process tab under Windows Task Manager shows PID too.

Of course, you can always use this ... http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx

I believe ProcMon would be the one

Just to add to this, you need to add the PID under View -> Select Columns.

Second Process Explorer. Great little app.

thanks for your help. installed process explorer and playing around with it.

I guess the next question is, is there a way a I can tell which process has which ports open to use? ie. I'm running skype. I want to see which ports skype is using to send/receive traffic.

I think it's called Processes Explorer

This little program is a MUST HAVE - I believe it was you who linked it when I was having problem with unknown CPU usage which turned out to be DPC.

nm. figured it out.
if you're interested,

netstat -aon on windows will give you all listening/established ports on your machine along with the pid that opened that port.

TCPView will show you the TCP connections:

But Skype does the majority of it's communications through UDP..
You can use Wireshark to see all network communications in realtime.

Also, I have studied Skype's network behaviour for a work project and I can tell you it does not use static ports and it will punch a hole in your NAT on whatever ports it gets told to from it's root Supernode list.
