ps4js

This module allows you to list and kill process on OSX and Windows.

We use ps and tasklist to list processes and kill and taskkill to kill a process.

We also include the ability to send either a force kill (sigkill (9) or sigterm (15))
to a process, depending on your needs.

Install

``bash
$ npm install ps4js
`

Usage

$3

`javascript
var ps = require('ps4js');

ps.list(function(err, results) {
if (err)
throw new Error( err );

console.log(results); // [{pid: 2352, command: 'command'}, {...}]
});
`

$3

`javascript
var ps = require('ps4js');

ps.kill(12345, function(err, stdout) {
if (err)
throw new Error(err);

console.log(stdout); // stdout for kill or taskkill command if any
});
`

Tests

`bash
npm test
``

Note

If the full command line is required on windows wmic.exe would be the way to go but it's not available on Windows XP Home Edition.
