Constructor Details

LinuxOSProcess

public LinuxOSProcess(int pid,
 LinuxOperatingSystem os)

Method Details

getName

public String getName()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the name of the process, often the executable program.

Returns:

the name of the process.

getPath

public String getPath()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the full filesystem path of the executing process.

Returns:

the full path of the executing process.

getCommandLine

public String getCommandLine()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the process command line used to start the process, including arguments if available to be determined. This method generally returns the same information as OSProcess.getArguments() in a more user-readable format, and is more robust to non-elevated access.

The format of this string is platform-dependent, may be truncated, and may require the end user to parse the result. Users should generally prefer OSProcess.getArguments() which already parses the results, and use this method as a backup.

On AIX and Solaris, the string may be truncated to 80 characters if there was insufficient permission to read the process memory.

On Windows, attempts to retrieve the value from process memory, which requires that the process be owned by the same user as the executing process, or elevated permissions, and additionally requires the target process to have the same bitness (e.g., this will fail on a 32-bit process if queried by 64-bit and vice versa). If reading process memory fails, by default, performs a single WMI query for this process, with some latency. If this method will be frequently called for multiple processes, see the configuration file to enable a batch query mode leveraging Win32ProcessCached.getCommandLine(int, long) to improve performance, or setting that parameter via GlobalConfig.set(String, Object) before instantiating any OSProcess object.

Returns:

the process command line.

getArguments

public List<String> getArguments()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Makes a best effort attempt to get a list of the the command-line arguments of the process. Returns the same information as OSProcess.getCommandLine() but parsed to a list. May require elevated permissions or same-user ownership.

Returns:

A list of Strings representing the arguments. May return an empty list if there was a failure (for example, because the process is already dead or permission was denied).

getEnvironmentVariables

public Map<String,String> getEnvironmentVariables()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Makes a best effort attempt to obtain the environment variables of the process. May require elevated permissions or same-user ownership.

Returns:

A map representing the environment variables and their values. May return an empty map if there was a failure (for example, because the process is already dead or permission was denied).

getCurrentWorkingDirectory

public String getCurrentWorkingDirectory()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Makes a best effort attempt to obtain the current working directory for the process.

Returns:

the process current working directory.

getUser

public String getUser()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the user name of the process owner.

Returns:

the user name. On Windows systems, also returns the domain prepended to the username.

getUserID

public String getUserID()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the user id of the process owner.

Returns:

the userID. On Windows systems, returns the Security ID (SID)

getGroup

public String getGroup()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the group under which the process is executing.

On Windows systems, populating this value for processes other than the current user requires administrative privileges (and still may fail for some system processes) and can incur significant latency. When successful, returns a the default primary group with access to this process, corresponding to the SID in OSProcess.getGroupID().

Returns:

the group.

getGroupID

public String getGroupID()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the group id under which the process is executing.

On Windows systems, populating this value for processes other than the current user requires administrative privileges (and still may fail for some system processes) and can incur significant latency. When successful, returns the default primary group SID with access to this process, corresponding to the name in OSProcess.getGroup().

Returns:

the groupID.

getState

public OSProcess.State getState()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the process state.

Returns:

the execution state of the process.

getParentProcessID

public int getParentProcessID()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the process ID of this process's parent.

Returns:

the parentProcessID, if any; 0 otherwise.

getThreadCount

public int getThreadCount()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the number of threads being executed by this process. More information is available using OSProcess.getThreadDetails().

Returns:

the number of threads in this process.

getPriority

public int getPriority()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the priority of this process.

For Linux and Unix, priority is a value in the range -20 to 19 (20 on some systems). The default priority is 0; lower priorities cause more favorable scheduling.

For Windows, priority values can range from 0 (lowest priority) to 31 (highest priority).

macOS has 128 priority levels, ranging from 0 (lowest priority) to 127 (highest priority). They are divided into several major bands: 0 through 51 are the normal levels; the default priority is 31. 52 through 79 are the highest priority regular threads; 80 through 95 are for kernel mode threads; and 96 through 127 correspond to real-time threads, which are treated differently than other threads by the scheduler.

Returns:

the priority of this process.

getVirtualSize

public long getVirtualSize()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the Virtual Memory Size (VSZ). Includes all memory that the process can access, including memory that is swapped out and memory that is from shared libraries.

Returns:

the Virtual Memory Size

getResidentSetSize

public long getResidentSetSize()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the Resident Set Size (RSS). Used to show how much memory is allocated to that process and is in RAM. It does not include memory that is swapped out. It does include memory from shared libraries as long as the pages from those libraries are actually in memory. It does include all stack and heap memory.

On Windows, returns the Private Working Set size, which should match the "Memory" column in the Windows Task Manager.

On Linux, returns the RSS value from /proc/[pid]/stat, which may be inaccurate because of a kernel-internal scalability optimization. If accurate values are required, read /proc/[pid]/smaps using FileUtil.getKeyValueMapFromFile(String, String).

Returns:

the Resident Set Size

getKernelTime

public long getKernelTime()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets kernel/system (privileged) time used by the process.

Returns:

the number of milliseconds the process has executed in kernel/system mode.

getUserTime

public long getUserTime()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets user time used by the process.

Returns:

the number of milliseconds the process has executed in user mode.

getUpTime

public long getUpTime()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets up time / elapsed time since the process started.

Returns:

the number of milliseconds since the process started.

getStartTime

public long getStartTime()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the process start time.

Returns:

the start time of the process in number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970 UTC.

getBytesRead

public long getBytesRead()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the bytes read by the process. This includes all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network, and device I/Os.

On Solaris, includes both bytes read and written.

Returns:

the number of bytes the process has read.

getBytesWritten

public long getBytesWritten()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the bytes written by the process. This includes all I/O activity generated by the process to include file, network, and device I/Os.

On Solaris, all IO bytes are included read bytes so this value is 0.

Returns:

the number of bytes the process has written to disk.

getThreadDetails

public List<OSThread> getThreadDetails()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Retrieves the threads of the process and their details.

The amount of returned information is operating-system dependent and may incur some latency.

Returns:

a list of threads

getMinorFaults

public long getMinorFaults()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the number of minor (soft) faults the process has made which have not required loading a memory page from disk. Sometimes called reclaims.

On Windows, this includes the total of major and minor faults.

Not available on AIX.

Returns:

minor page faults (reclaims).

getMajorFaults

public long getMajorFaults()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the number of major (hard) faults the process has made which have required loading a memory page from disk.

Windows does not distinguish major and minor faults at the process level, so this value returns 0 and major faults are included in OSProcess.getMinorFaults().

Not available on AIX.

Returns:

major page faults.

getContextSwitches

public long getContextSwitches()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

A snapshot of the context switches the process has done. Since the context switches could be voluntary and non-voluntary, this gives the sum of both.

Not available on Windows. An approximation may be made by summing associated values from OSThread.getContextSwitches().

Not available on AIX.

Returns:

sum of both voluntary and involuntary context switches if available, 0 otherwise.

getOpenFiles

public long getOpenFiles()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the number of open file handles (or network connections) that belongs to the process.

On FreeBSD and Solaris, this value is only populated if information for a single process id is requested.

Returns:

open files or -1 if unknown or not supported

getSoftOpenFileLimit

public long getSoftOpenFileLimit()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the soft limit for open file handles (or network connections) of the given process.

Retrieving the soft limit for processes other than the calling process is only supported on Linux, FreeBsd and Solaris.

Returns:

the soft open file limit for the process if available. Returns -1 if the calling process is not the same as this OSProcess instance and the underlying operating system does not support retrieving the soft limit for other processes.

getHardOpenFileLimit

public long getHardOpenFileLimit()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the hard limit for open file handles (or network connections) that belong to the given process.

Retrieving the hard limit for processes other than the calling process is only supported on Linux, FreeBsd and Solaris.

Returns:

the hard open file limit for the process if available. Returns -1 if the calling process is not the same as this OSProcess instance and the underlying operating system does not support retrieving the hard limit for other processes.

getBitness

public int getBitness()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Attempts to get the bitness (32 or 64) of the process.

Returns:

The bitness, if able to be determined, 0 otherwise.

getAffinityMask

public long getAffinityMask()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Gets the process affinity mask for this process.

On Windows systems with more than 64 processors, if the threads of the calling process are in a single processor group, returns the process affinity mask for that group (which may be zero if the specified process is running in a different group). If the calling process contains threads in multiple groups, returns zero.

Because macOS does not export interfaces that identify processors or control thread placement, explicit thread to processor binding is not supported and this method will return a bitmask of all logical processors.

If the Operating System fails to retrieve an affinity mask (e.g., the process has terminated), returns zero.

Returns:

a bit vector in which each bit represents the processors that a process is allowed to run on.

updateAttributes

public boolean updateAttributes()

Description copied from interface: OSProcess

Attempts to update process attributes. Returns false if the update fails, which will occur if the process no longer exists.

Returns:

true if the update was successful, false if the update failed. In addition, on a failed update the process state will be changed to OSProcess.State.INVALID.
