Is there a way to Grep processes running on Windows Servers...
Hi guys - newbie question:

Is there a way for me to grep running processes from a windows machine? If its possible I could then try to script it.

Currently I can see Windows file shares on my Linux server.

Doubt you'd be able to pick out a client connection from a Windows machine per se...although if there's a network segment assigned to the Wintel workstations/servers in use, you'd be able to identify that much. On the other hand, you might be able to identify the specifics of their client app, such as ssh, etc.

Not sure if I got you right:

tasklist.exe Smilie

You could run tasklist.exe > /path/to/dir/that/is/visible/to/your/linux/server/tasklist.txt on the Windows machine.
This task could be automated using Task Scheduler.

Mount windows share and grep for the specific process.

oooh...180 in terms of the proper Forum placement if pseudocoder's correct...

If you're looking to monitor processes on an actual Windows machine, and not connections from a Windows machine onto *nix or vice versa, then you'll want to look into SysInternals (ie, http://www.sysinternals.com). There's a variety of CLI and GUI options...notably Process Explorer.
