The problem is the Operating System, I don’t know any tool included in it to make it posible from the command line.

Edit: That tool exists (tasklist.exe) if you use Windows XP and rpc service is enabled.

Try http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/PsTools.html, maybe pslist can help you. Try running it, for example something like:

[code:1]pslist -s -r 1

The output is something like:

As you can see, there is a CPU column.

You can redirect this to a file, and search the information you want. For this you can use the GNU utilities at the %Pandora_agent_home%binutil directory.

I know that it is possible to monitor the CPU load on Linux Systems, but I have unable to find a way under windows (at least, not in the documentation). Is there any way of doing it?
I am using pandora 1.2b2

Pandora Agent for Windows 1.2 has its own module to show that.

Yes, in the newest agent (now in beta3), that you can download from SVN repository, you have an specific module to take CPU usage. This is an extract of latest documentation (also placed in SVN, at

https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pandora/trunk/pandora_doc/en/pandora.pdf

2.4.4.2.8. module_cpuusage cpu id (Win32 Only)

Returns CPU usage on CPU number cpu. If you only have one cpu, use 0 as value.

Examples:

module_begin
module_name CPU_Usage
module_type generic_data
module_cpuusage 0
module_description usage % for CPU #0
module_end

I hope you will be able to download beta3 from SVN, if you have any problems about SVN usage, plese read documentation about SVN usage in Openideas.info wiki (at this moment only in spanish), or use another SVN reference (there are many, including a short one in Sourceforge).

I’m downloading it. Thanks
