ps-list

Get running processes

Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Main difference from sindresorhus/ps-list is that on Windows, we are able to add a path for the fastlist.exe. If the path is missing, the package works as the original one from verision v6.3.0.

Install

$ npm install ps-list

Usage

const psList = require("ps-list");

(async () => {
	console.log(await psList());
	//=> [{pid: 3213, name: 'node', cmd: 'node test.js', ppid: 1, uid: 501, cpu: 0.1, memory: 1.5}, …]
})();

The cmd, cpu, memory, and uid properties are not supported on Windows.

API

psList([options])

Returns a Promise<Array> with the running processes.

options

Type: Object

all

Type: boolean Default: true

Include other users' processes as well as your own.

On Windows this has no effect and will always be the users' own processes.

path

Type: string Default: undefined

Path for the fastlist.exe (Windows).

If path is not set, it works as the original package sindresorhus/ps-list.
