Task Manager

I recently had a customer that had some problems with his ZENworks install on Windows, one of the java processes on the server was generating lots of connections to eDirectory. The unfortunate thing on Windows is that when you have a look at Task Manager it shows several instances of java.exe it however doesn't tell you what each of these processes are.

There are some debug java utilities within the JDK however these are not too easy to use, so I had a look to see if there was an easy way to find out what each of the java.exe instances where doing. I ended up using the process explorer from Sysinternals, it's a great tool that shows exactly what each of the java processes does.

Process Explorer

So, in case you ever wonder what java.exe, java.exe, java.exe and java.exe are doing.......

Speaking of Process

Speaking of Process Explorer, I think it'd be a good blog topic for someone to talk about how to use it when packaging apps. I've used regmon and filemon but never taken the time to figure out process explorer. For me, those two previous apps were critical to packaging apps to run in a restricted environment (no local admin account for the user). I know that process mon replaces those two though.

Just a thought. I like bginfo too. :)

It should be noted, that Sysinternals company was acquired by Microsoft in July, 2006. As a very first result, each of the above mentioned tools is requesting to accept the EULA ipon it's first launch ;-|
