Question

In linux, I know with ‘ps’ you can get the arguments that a command was run with. I need the equivalent in windows

Right now in python I’m doing

Process[i] = subprocess.Popen(cmd + " --daemon --config " + str(i) + ".conf", shell=False)

But I’m doing this in a daemon that is meant to be up all (or most) of the time. Since I’m having to debug and modify this daemon regularly it’s starting up 3 processes; but when I shut it down, the processes stay up. (like should happen, just in case)…

When I start it back up again, I need to re-map the PID to the config file used by the processes that already exist, but I don’t know of any way of retrieving this information (and parsing it) in windows. Does such a thing exist?

This one might give you some inspiration.
