I want to check the PID process which contains chrome and firefox.
I have found this sample, which contains chrome only.
How do I add firefox to the list so that I can have the query for both chrome and firefox?
import psutil
import time
def checkIfProcessRunning(processName):
'''
Check if there is any running process that contains the given name processName.
'''
#Iterate over the all the running process
for proc in psutil.process_iter():
try:
# Check if process name contains the given name string.
if processName.lower() in proc.name().lower():
return True
except (psutil.NoSuchProcess, psutil.AccessDenied, psutil.ZombieProcess):
pass
return False;
def findProcessIdByName(processName):
'''
Get a list of all the PIDs of a all the running process whose name contains
the given string processName
'''
listOfProcessObjects = []
#Iterate over the all the running process
for proc in psutil.process_iter():
try:
pinfo = proc.as_dict(attrs=['pid', 'name', 'create_time'])
# Check if process name contains the given name string.
if processName.lower() in pinfo['name'].lower() :
listOfProcessObjects.append(pinfo)
except (psutil.NoSuchProcess, psutil.AccessDenied , psutil.ZombieProcess) :
pass
return listOfProcessObjects;
def main():
print("*** Check if a process is running or not ***")
# Check if any chrome process was running or not.
if checkIfProcessRunning('chrome'):
print('Yes a chrome process was running')
else:
print('No chrome process was running')
print("*** Find PIDs of a running process by Name ***")
# Find PIDs od all the running instances of process that contains 'chrome' in it's name
listOfProcessIds = findProcessIdByName('chrome')
if len(listOfProcessIds) > 0:
print('Process Exists | PID and other details are')
for elem in listOfProcessIds:
processID = elem['pid']
processName = elem['name']
processCreationTime = time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(elem['create_time']))
print((processID ,processName,processCreationTime ))
else :
print('No Running Process found with given text')
print('** Find running process by name using List comprehension **')
# Find PIDs od all the running instances of process that contains 'chrome' in it's name
procObjList = [procObj for procObj in psutil.process_iter() if 'chrome' in procObj.name().lower() ]
for elem in procObjList:
print (elem)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
