How to detect which applications that are currently running

Hi there. Is there a way to detect which applications that are currently running on my machine? Is there a class that can get all of the running applications, you know, like the taskmanager.

What you are asking for is indeed not possible through "100% Pure Java," because each operating system that runs Java Virtual Machines can handle the running processes differently (think about the differences between a process scheduler for, say, Windows NT and your Palm Pilot, both of which could have a JVM running).
That means there are essentially 2 avenues to persue for this:
1. Use an external "user-level" command (like ps on a UNIX-like OS) and parse the results (this is what people are referring to when they say "Runtime.exec()". There have been some nice exec() frameworks posted around here before, so I'd recommend searching around a bit for more info.
I also found this link (from Google) which apparently shows the javadocs where someone has attempted something similarly on the Linux platform before...that's all I know about it:
http://www.cougaar.org/software/9.2/javadoc/api/org/cougaar/tools/server/system/linux/LinuxProcessStatusReader.html
2. Use a JNI (Java Native Interface) call to an externally provided C function to get the info you need. Here's a link to the Java 1.4 JNI information:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/jni/
Hope this helps! (But it's not going to be a quick and easy problem to work with)...

  • How to finds applications that are still running?

    How do I find applications that are running on my computer?  I can't install a new version of Google Drive because I get the message that this application is open.  When I bring up the panel to do a force quit I do not see that application listed.  Once I find the app running how do I quit it?
    Thanks for any tips.
    Bryan

    Use Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities). After opening it, go to View menu (on the menu bar) > All Processes, and quit the processes related to the apps that the installer needs.
    Another way is to start up in safe mode by holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting. This allows you to install any application without any problem, as no third-party apps are running

    Hi,
    I was told that this is available in our Planning v11 but can't find it.
    where can I view all processes (such as Business rules) that users are currently running ?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    They are probably meaning the job console > Tools > Job console.

  • How to detect which application connects to the in...

    Hello,
    I have a E71 and for a week or so the phone drains the battery quite fast.
    I have seen in the journal that an wi-fi connection is opening every 2-3 minuntes for less the half a minute.
    The weird thing is that the WLAN is disconected and WLAN SCAN is OFF, but the icon that shows a wi-fi connection appaers every 2-3 minutes.
    So how to detect the damn application that makes wi-fi conections by my back?
    Thanks!

    Check messaging and social media apps connection and sync settings.

  • How to identify which application users are connected to in an rdp session

    so we have an rdp gateway with couple of servers acting as brokers. users connect to the RD web access site and see a list of applications. usually these applications are the same but with different parameters like (done through the RemoteApp manager)
    app1: C:\Program Files\app.exe arg: C:\appdata\group1\file
    app2: C:\Program Files\app.exe arg: C:\appdata\group2\file
    i'm trying to find a way to tell which app the users are connecting to at a point with no luck, any help will be appreciated

    Hi Noor,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    From your description I can understand that you want the user name with app they have in their session.
    You can achieve with below command.
    Query process User name
    Displays information about processes running on a terminal server. You can use this command to find out which programs a specific user is running, and also which users are running a specific program.

  • How do I combine projects that are currently on different computers?

    I am teaching a TV production class with virtually no knowledge of Premiere Pro.  I have students working at four Mac stations.  Is there a way to combine the four projects into one?

    First of all, it's always a good idea to report exactly which version of Premiere you're using--not merely "CC" or "CS6" but the actual version number, like 2014.0.1. The workflow you're asking about happens to have changed considerably over the course of recent releases.
    Premiere allows you to import a whole project or sequences and other content from a project into another.
    Open or create the sequence into which you want to import.
    In Media Browser, find the project to be imported.
    To import the whole project, either drag it from Media Browser to Project panel or right-click it and select Import. In the dialog that pops up, select Import Entire Project.
    To import sequences you can either (a) select Import Selected Sequences in the dialog mentioned in the prior step, or (b) double-click the project in Media Browser, wait for the project's contents to be displayed, and then pick and choose the sequences and other contents to import.
    When you import a sequence, Premiere automatically brings in all assets used in that sequence.
    Where things might get complicated is the location of the actual content--the files on disc. If the clips are stored on each of the 4 workstations, then you'll probably want to copy them to the one that's home to the new project and then relink to them in their new location.

  • Hiding App Icons That Are Currently Running

    Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well.
    I'm having an issue with a rather stubborn app that is sitting in my Dock.
    About 2 months ago I bought myself a Genius Writing Tablet for my Macbook. Sadly, the thing has a really annoying driver app called FKeyHandlerX. It runs automatically on start up and seems to be fused to my dock. Since it is running I can't remove it and if I quit it I am unable to use my tablet. Is there a way to somehow "hide" active icons in the dock?
    I would show you a screen shot if someone could give me a tip on how to post one here.

    Do you mean from the organizer? Right click one (shift-click or
    ctrl-click to select multiple photos first if you want to do more
    than one at a time), then choose "delete from catalog". A window
    will pop up asking if you also want to delete from your hard drive.
    If so, then turn on the checkbox there.
    If you just mean from the editor or the mac version, just close the
    file(s) there.

  • Hello.  I just upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.3.  I was previously running 10.5.7 which included the ENTOURAGE application.  how do I retrieve needed information from this application that no longer runs on this new system?

    Hello.  I just upgraded to Lion OS X 10.7.3.  I was previously running 10.5.7 which included the ENTOURAGE application.  how do I retrieve needed information from this application that no longer runs on this new system?

    The file you'll be looking for that has most of what you're looking for - messages, address book, etc. is the Entourage Database.  The verison of Microsoft Office I run (on Lion) is Office 2008.  By default the Entourage Database for this verison is at user/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/Main Identity/Database.  That folder (Main Identitty) also has your rules, signatures, and such.  You'll have to recover this file from whatever backup you have.  If you have a different version of Entourage, the file location will be a little diffferent.
    Good luck
