Check if a process is running using Python on Linux [duplicate]

Answer 1

On Windows another option is to use tasklist.exe:

Syntax: tasklist.exe /NH /FI "PID eq processID"

def IsProcessRunning( processId ):
    ps= subprocess.Popen(r'tasklist.exe /NH /FI "PID eq %d"' % (processId), shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    output = ps.stdout.read()
    ps.stdout.close()
    ps.wait()
    if processId in output:
       return True
    return False
