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>.
 To 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.
Using the Processes Utility from a Command Line
When using the Processes utility from a command line, note that unlike in Dashboard
use, you can stop processes whose Type is Critical (service type is defined in the
user-modifiable processinfo.xml file.)
