Portable way to tell if a process is still alive

[Michel Claveau - MVP]

Hi!

For Windows, you can use the command-line  tasklist

Example:
   tasklist
   tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq iexplore.exe"
   tasklist /FI "PID eq 4044" /FO LIST

The last line is for known PID. Prior for search by (exe's) name.
Note than STATUS give if the process is RUNNING / NOT RESPONDING / etc.
And...    tasklist /?  for help.
