Could anyone help me to know how to get the PID of a Windows service?
I need to get the PID in order to run the following command:
Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo
{
Filename = "cmd.exe",
CreateNoWindow = true,
UseShellExecute = false,
Arguments = string.Format("/c taskkill /pid {0} /f", pidnumber)
});
Assuming you know the name of the EXE the service uses and there is exactly one of them:
int procID = Process.GetProcessesByName("yourservice")[0].Id;
The method Process.GetProcessesByName("yourservice")
returns an Array of Processes with your specified name, so in case you don't know how much of "yourservice.exe"
runs simultaneously you might need a foreach loop.
