Vista - get-process & stop-process by owner

I'm trying to figure out how I can list and stop only those processes that
are being run by a specific user like you can with tasklist and taskkill.

In otherwords what is the translation of these commands:

tasklist /fi "username eq drevlan"
taskkill /fi "username eq drevlan" /im calc.exe

In powershell using get-process and stop-process.

Thank you!

I would have thought the object returned from get-process would have a user
account, but I couldnt find it (I could have missed it.) Either way... I
used wmi.

I wrote this script... its a quicky and no promises I did test it and it
worked for me... I added the -whatif switch just in case.

code
====
function Kill-UserProcess{
param([string]$server,[string]$user,[string]$process,[switch]$Kill,[switch]$whatif) if($server){$processes = Get-WmiObject Win32_Process -ComputerName $server} else{$processes = Get-WmiObject Win32_Process} if($user){ if($kill){if(!$process){Write-Host "Killing all Processes for User[$user]"}} foreach($p in $processes){ if($p.GetOwner().user -match "$user"){ if($process){ if($p.Name -match "$process"){ if($kill){ Write-Host "Killing Process [$($p.Name)] for User [$user]" if($whatif){ write-Host "What if: Performing operation `"kill`" on Target`"$($p.Name)`"." } } else{ Write-Host "Killing Process $($p.Name)" $p.Terminate() | out-null } return $true } } if($kill){ if($whatif){ write-Host "What if: Performing operation `"kill`" on Target`"$($p.Name)`"." } else{ Write-Host "Killing Process $($p.Name)" $p.Terminate() | out-Null } } else{ Write-Host "$p.Name" } } } }}"Andrew Conrad" <drevlan@gmail.com> wrote in messagenews:78BD196E-0B80-4649-A457-5B9DDAB7850B@microsoft.com...> I'm trying to figure out how I can list and stop only those processes thatare being run by a specific user like you can with tasklist and taskkill.>> In otherwords what is the translation of these commands:>> tasklist /fi "username eq drevlan"> taskkill /fi "username eq drevlan" /im calc.exe>> In powershell using get-process and stop-process.>> Thank you!>> --Andrew
