Find a Windows process based on its description, using CMD

问题

I get two results when I run this:

tasklist /FI "imagename eq PROCESS.exe"

Image Name                     PID Session Name        Session#    Mem Usage
========================= ======== ================ =========== ============
PROCESS.exe                   2760 Console                    1      8,156 K
PROCESS.exe                  20160 Console                    1      9,060 K

But I only want to kill ONE of them...

If I open up the Task Manager, I can see that each of my processes have different descriptions.

So all I need to do, is somehow filter by process description.

Can anyone help, please?

Thank you!

回答1:

Use the following to distinguish the processes according to their own process ID and their parent process ID:

wmic process get processid,parentprocessid,executablepath | find "PROCESS"

This way, you can find the process ID to kill.

wmic grants access to additional process properties.

Use wmic process get /? to find out what is available.

Another potentially helpful tool is PsList of Microsoft/Sysinternals.

回答2:

If you want to filter your process list by the window title, just use

tasklist /FI "windowtitle eq Title"

As addition to @Axel's answer with WMI - the same for description:

WMIC Process WHERE "Description='Only One'" GET ProcessID

And in VBS:

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\CIMV2") 
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery( _
    "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Description = 'My Desc'",,48) 
For Each objItem in colItems
'Do Stuff
Next

Another possible value for description is the assembly's description which is retrievable with PowerShell. Use Get-Process to obtain the assembly path and retrieve its description with [System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo($File).FileDescription.
