检查是否有从Windows Service运行的进程

Question

Currently, I am using:

private bool IsProcessRunning(string ProcessName)
{
    foreach(Process clsProcess in Process.GetProcesses())
    {
        if(clsProcess.ProcessName.Contains(ProcessName))
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

This bool returns true if process is running. This works fine in Console/WinForms application, but it's not working when I am trying to check if a process is running from a Windows Service. As we all know, Windows Services are running on different SID than other applications. So, does anyone know how can I check if an application is running on a different Session?

You might want to look into the ServiceController. I do not know if this might assist you somewhat?

Below is an example on how to use it

using System.ServiceProcess;

ServiceController sc = new ServiceController(SERVICENAME);

switch (sc.Status)
{
  case ServiceControllerStatus.Running:
    return "Running";
  case ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped:
    return "Stopped";
  case ServiceControllerStatus.Paused:
    return "Paused";
  case ServiceControllerStatus.StopPending:
    return "Stopping";
  case ServiceControllerStatus.StartPending:
    return "Starting";
  default:
    return "Status Changing";
}

If you have to retrieve the status again, you will have to refresh the status before checking again

sc.Refresh()
