Hi all-
I have a script that gets the process name of currently running Win32 processes... BUT I can't figure out how to get the command-line arguments for that process (so that it will resemble the name in a ps command on Unix)
For example, if I have "perl temp.pl" running on Win32, I can get the process's name as "perl", but I can't figure out how to get the process's name as "perl temp.pl". I'm using Win32::PerfLib to get the process ids and names:
# Name: _getProcessesWin32
# Desc: gets ids and names for currently running processes on Win32 pl
+atforms
# In:   None
# Out:  hash of process id, name pairs
sub _getProcessesWin32 {
  my (%counter,%rCounter,%processList);
  
  Win32::PerfLib::GetCounterNames('',\%counter);
  %rCounter = reverse(%counter);
  
  # Get id for the process object and process counter
  my $processObj = $rCounter{'Process'};
  my $processId = $rCounter{'ID Process'};
    
  # create connection to local computer
  my $perfLib = new Win32::PerfLib('');
  my $procRef = {};
    
  # get the performance data for the process object
  $perfLib->GetObjectList($processObj, $procRef);
  $perfLib->Close();
    
  # get current processes
  my $instanceRef = $procRef->{'Objects'}->{$processObj}->{'Instances'
+};
  foreach my $instance (values %{$instanceRef}) {
    my $counterRef = $instance->{'Counters'};
    foreach my $counter (values %{$counterRef}) {
      if($counter->{'CounterNameTitleIndex'} == $processId) {
        my $pid = $counter->{'Counter'};
        $processList{$pid} = $instance->{'Name'};
      }
    }
  }
  
  return %processList;
}

I need the full name, so that I can distinguish between different perl and/or java processes that are running--so I know what to kill and what to leave alone. Any help is appreciated!
