Operating systemMicrosoft Windows, AROS Research Operating System
TypeCommand

In computing, tasklist is a command available in Microsoft Windows[1] and in the AROS shell.[2]

It is equivalent to the ps command in Unix and Unix-like operating systems and can also be compared with the Windows task manager (taskmgr).

Windows NT 4.0, the Windows 98 Resource Kit, the Windows 2000 Support Tools, and ReactOS[3] include the similar tlist command. Additionally, Microsoft provides the similar PsList command as part of Windows Sysinternals.[4]

Usage

Microsoft Windows

On Microsoft Windows tasklist shows all of the different local computer processes currently running. tasklist may also be used to show the processes of a remote system by using the command: tasklist /S "SYSTEM".

Optionally, they can be listed sorted by either the imagename, the PID or the amount of computer usage. But by default, they are sorted by chronological order:
