Manipulate Windows Process Input/Output Stream with Powershell?

Question

Is there any builtin functionality with Powershell that allows you to examine system processes in great detail, and view/manipulate its I/O stream? Are there any community modules? Has anybody worked with process streams and know of any good references for such work?

Answer 1

The standard cmdlets provided by powershell allows you basic operations on processes. Get-Process cmdlet returns all running processes objects with detailed information about the process. You can also get the modules that the process loaded using the parameter -Module . You can use start/stop process cmdlets to manage the list of running processes.

However, the returned objects give you all information you may search for. Get-Process returns objects as System.Diagnostics.Process , while Get-Process -Module returns objects as System.Diagnostics.ProcessModule .
