How to defferentiate several running java Jar in windows

I have a Windows server which run several java .jar running in the background. For example programABC.jar, programDEF.jar, and so on. They were triggered trough the Windows task scheduler.

I can see through DOS command line tasklist or Windows "Task Manager" there are a couple of java.exe currently running, I can also tell their Process ID. But I don't know which instance belong to which jar program. How to identify these processes?

As a comparison in linux if we have the Process ID we can just cat /proc/YOURPID/maps that will give a clue what is the program name, run from where, etc.

Thanks in advance

Solution

  • In Task Manager processes tab click View|Select Columns. Scroll down the list then select "Command Line" then OK. You should see the command line of the process which should include the .jar file used.
