Determine if Process is stuck at "starting"

Message

I have a batch that uses the following code to query the JDATSP process which has been useful in finding out when the process is stopped. However I have been finding that sometimes the results show the process is "Running" when the process is stuck at "starting" according to services.msc.

Code: Select all

sc.exe \\10.11.2.34 query JDATSP

Is there a way to get a more exact result so I could see if it is at starting?

Have you tried tasklist or WMI (either wmic or vbscript)?

I wasn't aware of those options. I was able to use the tasklist using the following (just need to find one stuck at starting to see if it records accurately) but cant quite figure out how to use the WMIC feature correctly.

Code: Select all

tasklist /s 10.11.2.34 /v /fi "SERVICES eq JDATSP"

WMI is a language of it's own, but it is fairly easy. It is THE KING of retrieving system information. In 11 lines of vbscript (3 of which are syntax), I was able to program a WMI tasklister more powerful than tasklist itself lol.

Anyhow, it seems tasklist is sufficient for your needs. Be aware that it is unavailable on Windows XP Home.

@nitt
I do not understand if you are going to go down the road of wmi which correctly is not native to xp home why not just download pshell?

Do you mean me?

WMI is native to XP Home (and all Windows since Windows 2000). WMIC is not.

@orange
I know wmi is not native to xp home. I was asking if you were going to go down that road why not just download and install pshell.
:roll:

Haha no no, did you misread or typo? WMI IS native to XP Home. It's the WMIC command line utility that is not. VBScripts for WMI work fine.

Why not Pshell? Simply because the user would have to install it!

Anyone who uses an undressed version of windows, should not do much more than clicking the mouse &spending money on legal software! After all why is it undressed, it's all for the money...

How important is tasklist not to put it in there, ridiculous. Like or people won't download it shhh.

Thinking about it, why would I buy software at all, takes me more effort to get it legally and many freeware is actiually better.

Take 7zip free for use however, WinACE gadde pay however, 7zip is better ???
Where is the logic in that ?

Typo

@Ed
I have not ever actually used WinAce, but I like 7zip especially its command line options. Anything with command line options is all good to me.
