|    Bug in tasklist output    |
|    07 Jan 22 08:18:49    |
      From: fizzbintuesday@that-google-mail-domain.com              I've noted before that when you pipe tasklist to FIND, it often (maybe       usually), fails to see some of the output unless there is another       program in between. This could be SORT or any other stdin/stdout       program.              For example, the first line sees firefox, but the second line usually       doesn't see it.              >tasklist|sort|find /i "firefox"       firefox.exe 3908 Console 0 1,269,432 K              >tasklist|find /i "firefox"       [usually no output]              Now, I just wanted to follow up with the observation that if you run       this repeatedly you get output that is truncated in a different way each       time:              tasklist|find /v "xxxx"              This gives a little insight into the bug. WMIC can also give a task list       but I haven't tested it much.                     --       Defund the Thought Police              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
