Description 

Author

This class can retrieve the processes running on the system.

It can perform queries on the current OS to retrieve the list of processes independently of the OS.

The class objects can be iterated like an array, so you can get each process id, command name and parameters, CPU time, start time, title and tty, and children processes.

The process list can be retrieved again using the Refresh function.

It uses WMI queries on Windows and the POSIX call on Linux and Unix like systems.

Processes are programs running on the current computer operating system.

Different systems manage and access the data of each process in different ways.

This class provides a platform independent solution to retrieve the list of processes and their details running either on Windows or Linux and other Unix-like systems.

<?php
   
/****************************************************************************************************

        This example demonstrates the use of the ProcessList class.
        It works the same way for both Windows and Unix platforms.

     ****************************************************************************************************/

    // This package requires the Wmi package for Windows platforms :
    // http://www.phpclasses.org/package/10001-PHP-Provides-access-to-Windows-WMI.html
    // A version of this package is provided here for convenience, but it may not be the latest release.
   
require_once ( 'Wmi.phpclass' ) ;

    require_once (
'ProcessList.phpclass' ) ;

    if (
php_sapi_name ( ) != 'cli' )
        echo (
"<pre>" ) ;

   
// Get the process list and print it
   
$ps = new ProcessList ( ) ;
   
    foreach (
$ps as $process )
       {
       
print_r ( $process ) ;
        echo (
"\n" ) ;
        }
