Is it possible to check if a particular app is running from a command script? Not a system service just a regular app. Basically is it possible to access Task Manager data from a command script?
TIA
Full Version: CMD script help request
Possibly if Powershell is installed.

Commands marked ~ are Internal commands only available within the CMD shell, all other commands may be used under PowerShell.
What 
?
TASKLIST is a common command line app in XP.
Under powershell it's get-process:

Many internal commands such as COPY and DEL are available under Powershell as cmdlets but with different syntax / options.

You CANNOT run under powershell commands marked with ~ as they are INTERNAL commands ONLY available within the CMD shell.
All commands NOT marked by ~ are EXTERNAL commands and thus are available on BOTH CMD shell and powershell.

Unfortunately it's not that common in XP Home.
Well, you never mentioned XP home.
Sure, tasklist is in XP Pro only:

You may then use a third party tool, like these:

I am sure there are many others around.

prcview's command line app, pv.exe, works perfectly. Thanks.
I wrote this code a while back, and I was wondering if you guys would reveiw it. Basically, it lets a user change there password from a cmd window and not have to know the password to change it.
Code:echo offset /p usr=What is your name? goto program1:Program1Echo Hello usr, Welcome to Lock-Out. What would you like to do today?pauseEcho 1. Change Passwordset /p comd=Please enter the number of the task you would like to preform: If comd equ 1 goto changegoto sorry:SorryEcho Sorry, that doesnt appear to be a command.goto Program1:Changenet userset /p name=What password would you like to change?net user name pauseset /p 000=Change another Y or N? If 000 equ Y goto ChangeIf 000 equ y goto ChangeIf 000 equ N goto Program1If 000 equ n goto Program1

We would if we could read it but we can't. Can you repost it in a format that is readable?
Wrapping code text in code tags can be easily done when posting by highlighting the text then clicking on the
icon.
Is ManbaLeyla's reply some sort of new age spam with a strangely unrelated topic? 
I've wrapped his code and added some line breaks where it seems applicable although the code seems way too erroneous to work.
At the first line it seems to be asking for "usr" and then applies "user"
Doesn't make much sense for me, I'd recommend for other people interested in trying to do it from an emulated machine to avoid bad surprises..
