How to Use the Processes Utility from a Command Line

While primarily designed for use from the Support Tools Dashboard, the Processes utility can also be run from a command line any node, as desired.

Use the Processes utility to:

•View all processes running on a system

•Terminate processes on a system

•Save a list of processes to a file

To Run the Processes Utility from a Command Line

To run the Processes utility in interactive mode from a command line:

1.From a command prompt on a Support Tools node, navigate to

<support_tools_root>.

2.Enter processcontrol. Optionally in the same line, to specify a different machine to serve as the application server, enter its DNS or IP address. If none is specified, the local machine serves as the application server. Press <Enter>.

ƒTo view a list of systems defined in the current system's system list, use the systemlist command. To view connection status for systems in the list, use the systemlist /check command.

3.Enter commands as described in the Command Line Options section below.

Note: For additional information on basic Web Tools command line use, including system selection options and command-line mode vs interactive mode see About Using Cisco Web Utilities from a Command Line.
