windows batch command to determine working directory of a process

问题

Why I ask is that my program uses 3rd party software that sometimes leaves behind orphan processes that have no link back to my program or the 3rd party process. These orphan processes start to add up and consume tons of resources over time. I would like to kill them off periodically, but in order for me to do that, I need to know for sure they were created by my program and not some other program. I have viewed the orphan processes in Process Explorer and when looking at the properties of the process, I see a field called "Current Directory". The current directory for the orphaned process is the install directory of my program. This would give me reassurance I am killing a process created by my program.

Since these processes are created by a 3rd party, I need to just kill them after they are created by running taskkill on them or something. Is there a way to figure out the current working directory of a process using out of the box windows commands in a batch file? If this can be done through wmic queries that would be preferable, but I cannot seem to find the current working directory when using wmic. I assume if Process Explorer is able to obtain this info, I should be able to get it too through some batch commands.

tlist from WDK to the rescue! The 2nd line of its output ("CWD: ...") shows the working directory of a process:

> tlist 944
 944 postgres.exe
   CWD:     D:\Lab\Database\pgsql\test\
   CmdLine: "D:/Tools/pgsql/bin/postgres.exe"  -D "."

Handle is an utility that displays information about open handles for any process in the system. You can use it to see the programs that have a file open, or to see the object types and names of all the handles of a program.

Its GUI-based version is Process Explorer .

handle -p yourProcess.exe  > log.txt

It'll list all handles for yourProcess.exe in log file and now using batch command you can easily extract 'current working directory' of yourProcess from log.txt.

here is the output.. for process c:\tinyweb\tiny.exe run from c:\tinyweb\rrr

C:\Users\user>handle -p tiny.exe

If you want to parse it specifically then you could do it in pure cmd.exe with e.g. for /f, or with a third party scripting language like ruby, or with windows ports of various *nix style command line tools. This line uses such tools and gets it (obviously the following line requires grep and sed, preferably decent versions of them e.g. from cygwin)

C:\Users\harvey>handle -p tiny.exe | grep "pid:" -A 3 | sed -n "3p" | grep -o ".:[\]\S*"
C:\tinyweb\rrr

The following will work, though you only need "CommandLine" or "ExecutablePath" - not both:

wmic process where "ProcessID=1111" get CommandLine, ExecutablePath

It will return something like the following, showing where the program for PID 1111 is running:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MyProgram\Agent\agent.exe"
