Is it possible to check the existence of process from Java in Windows.
I have its possible PID, I want to know if it is still running or not.

That post explains how to get all PIDs running on a Windows machine: you’d have to compare the output of the
cmdcall with your PID, instead of printing it.If you’re on Unix-like systems you’d have to use with
psinstead ofcmdCalling system commands from your java code is not a very portable solution; then again, the implementation of processes varies among operating systems.
