I have a Windows GUI program, that upon startup, launches cmd.exe and I would like to know exactly what commands are executed within the command shell. I know cmd.exe is executed as soon as the program is started as ZoneAlarm asks me whether to allow it to run or not. I've tried Process Explorer but I don't think it has what I need.

Many thanks for your insights.

  • Try Process Monitor instead of Process Explorer. It literally captures everything happening, but you'll have to narrow down using filters.

You can view the command line that was used to start a process quite simply.

Go to View -> Select Columns. In the Process Image tab, check Command Line.

Now, you should be able to see the full path to the process and whatever command line arguments were used.

It's worth noting that the regular task manager has this ability too (but somewhat limited for some processes).

In the Processes tab, go to View -> Select Columns and check Command Line (look familiar?).

You should find that most processes that you probably would care about will have the command lines shown in a similar manner.
