How can I monitor if a specific Java program is running or not? (Windows.)

[GunnarHovmark]

I have a number of Java programs that must be active for my system to work, but I can't figure out an easy way to monitor if a specific Java program is running or not. Can somebody help me?
Thanks in advance.

Hi GunnarHovmark,

If your OS is linux you can do with the next module:

Code:

module_exec ps -Af | grep process_name | grep -v "grep" | wc -l

in windows i guess that you can do it but i don't know.

thanks

I guess the most similar thing to that in Windows would be to check what processes I have running, but there I can only see if Java is running or not. I can't figure out a way (at least not an easy way) to see what's running inside the Java virtual machine.

I use jps in linux to know wich jvm I want to monitor... I think this could work in windows too:

I hope this helps.
