It is possible to display the characteristics of host processes on a server using the GSHOST tool in the command line.
This tool gives you three possibilities:
- gshost -l provides a list of host processes currently running on the server: process ID, associated job manager ID, state (active/inactive), DLL loaded:
Example:
C:\> gshost -l
Host process GSHOST.EXE 1896 (JM 1956) (active):
dll D:\GEN\OBJC\SYSTST.DLL loaded
Host process GSHOST.EXE 1196 (JM 1956) (active):
dll D:\GEN\OBJC\SYSTS2.DLL loaded
2 host processes found
C:\> _
- gshost -i <list_id> provides full information on the requested host processes. If the process is active, there will be additional data on the job currently running.
Example:
C:\> gshost -i 1896 1196
Host process GSHOST.EXE 1896 (JM 1956) (active):
Job generated name 0000000000 (id 226):
program: D:\GEN\OBJC\SYSTST.DLL
param1 : notepad
param2 :
Host process GSHOST.EXE 1196 (JM 1956) (inactive):
dll D:\GEN\OBJC\SYSTS2.DLL loaded
C:\> _
- gshost -k [<list_id>|all] enables stop notifications to be sent to the requested host processes. This command does not kill the processes, it just asks them to stop. An inactive process will stop immediately, but an active process will wait until the current job has finished running.
Example:
C:\> gshost -k all
Kill notification sent to process 1896 (deferred).
Kill notification sent to process 1196.
C:\> gshost -i 1896
Host process GSHOST.EXE 1896 (JM 1956) (active):
kill notification pending
Job generated name 0000000000 (id 226):
program: D:\GEN\OBJC\SYSTST.DLL
param1 : notepad
param2 :
C:\> _
