Usage


Options


Example(s)
 List all the processes running on the local PC:

PS C:>get-process

List all available data about Winword and Explorer processes on this computer:

PS C:>get-process winword, explorer | format-list *

List the available properties of process objects:

PS C:>Get-Process | Get-Member

List the top 5 processes using the most CPU time:

PS C:>Get-Process | sort CPU | select -last 5

Get all processes that have a working set greater than 20 MB.:

PS C:>get-process | where-object {$_.WorkingSet -gt 20000000}

List processes grouped by priority.:

PS C:>$a = get-process
get-process -inputobject $a | format-table -view priority

List all processes beginning with "s", and see when each running program was last updated. (This can be a handy way of discovering malware) This is done by piping the pathname of each executable into DIR and sorting by the last write time:

PS C:>get-process s*|where {s$_.Path} | dir | sort LastWriteTime |
format-table fullname, name,@{label="LastWriteTime";Expr={$_.LastWriteTime}
