You can shell "tasklist" it will return all of the running processes.

Hi,

This works on OSX and Windows:

Code: Select all

function programs
     if the platform is "MacOS" then -- only OSX!
          put shell("ps -xcw") into myList
          put offset("COMMAND",myList) into myColPos
          repeat for each line myLine in myList
               put char myColPos to -1 of myLine & cr after myNewList
          end repeat
          filter myNewList without "(*"
          return line 2 to -1 of myNewList
     else if the platform is "Win32" then
          put line 4 to -1 of shell("tasklist") into myList
          // or use the pv command
          repeat for each line myLine in myList
               put word 1 of myLine & cr after myNewList
          end repeat
          return line 1 to -2 of myNewList
     else
          return empty
     end if
end programs

Kind regards,

Mark
