## Introduction

You can simply run **pslist** to get the current list of processes and statistical information about each one, or filter to show only processes that start with a specific name for example **pslist exp** will only show processes that start with "exp", which would include Explorer for instance.

|Parameter |Description |
|---------|---------|
| **pslist exp** | Show statistics for all the processes that start with "exp", which would include Explorer.|
| **-d** | Show thread detail.|
| **-m** | Show memory detail.|
| **-x** | Show processes, memory information and threads.|
| **-t** | Show process tree.|
| **-s \[n\]** | Run in task-manager mode, for optional seconds specified. Press Escape to abort.|
| **-r n** | Task-manager mode refresh rate in seconds (default is 1).|
| **\\\\computer** | Instead of showing process information for the local system, *PsList* will show information for the NT/Win2K system specified. Include the -u switch with a username and password to login to the remote system if your security credentials do not permit you to obtain performance counter information from the remote system.|

| **-u** | Specifies optional user name for login to remote computer.|
| **-p** | This option lets you specify the login password on the command line so that you can use *PsList* from batch files. If you specify an account name and omit the -p option *PsList* prompts you interactively for a password.|
| **name** | Show information about processes that begin with the name specified.|

## How it Works

Like Windows NT/2K's built-in PerfMon monitoring tool, *PsList* uses the
Windows NT/2K performance counters to obtain the information it
displays. You can find documentation for Windows NT/2K performance
counters, including the source code to Windows NT's built-in performance
monitor, PerfMon, in MSDN.
