Sysinternals - PsTools

Sysinternals Freeware - Utilities for Windows NT and Windows 2000 - PsTools
These tools allow you to manage remote systems as well as the local one. The "Ps" prefix in PsList relates to the fact that the standard UNIX process listing command-line tool is named "ps", so this prefix is used for all the tools in order to tie them together into a suite of tools named PsTools.

The tools included in the PsTools suite, which are downloadable individually or as a package, are:

* PsExec - execute processes remotely
* PsFile - shows files opened remotely
* PsGetSid - display the SID of a computer or a user
* PsKill - kill processes by name or process ID
* PsInfo - list information about a system
* PsList - list detailed information about processes
* PsLoggedOn - see who's logged on locally and via resource sharing (full source is included)
* PsLogList - dump event log records
* PsPasswd - changes account passwords
* PsService - view and control services
* PsShutdown - shuts down and optionally reboots a computer
* PsSuspend - suspends processes
* PsUptime - shows you how long a system has been running since its last reboot (PsUptime's functionality has been incorporated into PsInfo)

All of the utilities in the PsTools suite work on Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The PsTools download package includes an HTML help file with complete usage information for all the tools.
