Archive: Not able to find the process using FindProcDLL


Not able to find the process using FindProcDLL
What could be the reason for not able to find the process while using FindProcDLL::FindProc "WatchDogService.exe", when this process is visable in task manager.


One reason I can think of is that the plugin can't detect an x64 process.


you mean that this script wont work correctly on 2008 machines? But this process is 32-bit only


Try my LockedList plug-in.

should I use 'FindProcDLL' or 'LockedList' only in sections?
coz right now i am using it in
"Function .onInit
Funtion End"


You can use plugins wherever you like (function/section) unless they display a page in which case you must use them in a Page Custom show function. LockedList has a utility function (LockedList::FindProcess) to check a process is running which you can call in a section or function.

It seems that this process is a Service. You can use a service relatived plugin, such as Services or SimpleSC, to check whether the service is running.


does FindProcDLL::FindProc able to find the processes that are started by any service?

coz i am not able to find the processes that are visiable on task manager.
is there any limitaions in 'FindProc'?


is there any other way to fix this issue.


Did you try the alternatives?

LockedList::FindProcess
nsProcess::FindProcess
Processes::FindProcess

Edit: If it's a service then you should use a service plug-in such as SimpleSC::GetServiceStatus.
