In a unix environment, often one can just run ps and see the exact command as it was invoked, including switches and any parameter values that it may have received.

I have a Windows executable that it would be valuable for debugging purposes if I could see just what values were passed in, after it is already running. Can this be done, either with the utilities already present in a Windows default install, or something that I could download?

  • Note that, unlike UNIX, Windows properly respects the privacy of the user; that is, only administrators and the user who launched a particular process get to see the command line.

On Windows 7 and newer (possibly Vista, but I don't have an install to check), the built-in Task Manager can do this. Go to the Processes tab, then View->Select Columns->Command Line.
