Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to know the name of a process running on your computer, but all you had was its Process ID (PID)? Fear not, for there is a simple solution to this problem. In this article, we will discuss how to get the process name by its PID using HTML tags formatting.
First, let's understand what a PID is. A Process ID is a unique number assigned to each process running on a computer's operating system. It is used to identify and track the process, making it easier for the system to manage and allocate resources. PIDs are particularly useful when there are multiple instances of the same process running simultaneously.
Now, let's get to the main point – how to get the process name by its PID. To do this, we will be using the HTML <code> tag, which is used to enclose a piece of computer code. In this case, our code will be a simple command that will help us retrieve the process name.
The first step is to open the command prompt on your computer. This can be done by pressing the Windows key + R and typing "cmd" in the Run dialog box. Once the command prompt is open, type in the following command:
<code>tasklist /FI "PID eq [insert PID here]"</code>
In the above command, "tasklist" is the command used to display all the running processes, and "/FI" is a filter that specifies the criteria for selecting the processes. In this case, we are filtering by the PID, which is denoted by "eq" (equals) followed by the actual PID in brackets.
For example, if the PID we want to find the process name for is 1234, the command would look like this:
<code>tasklist /FI "PID eq 1234"</code>
After entering the command, hit Enter, and you will see a list of all the processes with the specified PID. The process name will be listed under the "Image Name" column. Voila! You now have the process name by its PID.
But what if you want to get the process name using an HTML page? Can it be done? Yes, it can. We can use the <code>iframe</code> tag to display the command prompt on an HTML page. The <code>iframe</code> tag is used to embed another document within the current HTML document.
Here's an example code to display the command prompt on an HTML page and execute the command to get the process name by its PID:
<code><iframe src="cmd.exe"></iframe></code>
<code><script></code>
<code>document.querySelector('iframe').contentWindow.document.querySelector('body').innerHTML = 'tasklist /FI "PID eq 1234"';</code>
<code></script></code>
In the above code, we are using JavaScript to target the <code>iframe</code> and execute the command. This will display the process name on the HTML page itself.
In conclusion, getting the process name by its PID is a simple task that can be easily done using HTML tags formatting. By using the <code>tasklist</code> command and the <code>iframe</code> tag, we can retrieve the process name and display it on an HTML page. So, the next time you find yourself in need of a process name, don't fret – just follow these steps, and you'll have it in no time.
