Get running processes
Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
This is a fork of ps-list (https://github.com/sindresorhus/ps-list), providing a fully JavaScript implementation (leveraging native operating system utilities), and supports only CommonJS module resolution.
The upstream PR #21 Improve Windows Performance introduces fast-list as a binary dependency (released in ps-list@6.0.0). This fork reverts to use the native Windows task-list util, which is slower, but doesn't require binaries to be bundled with the package.
npm install @trufflesuite/ps-listimport psList from "@trufflesuite/ps-list";
console.log(await psList());
//=> [{pid: 3213, name: 'node', cmd: 'node test.js', ppid: 1, uid: 501, cpu: 0.1, memory: 1.5}, …]Returns a Promise<object[]> with the running processes.
On macOS and Linux, the name property is truncated to 15 characters by the system. The cmd property can be used to extract the full name.
The cmd, cpu, memory, and uid properties are not supported on Windows.
