getting svchost path by PID using python 2.7
To get the svchost.exe path by its PID using Python 2.7 on Windows, you can use the psutil
library. However, note that psutil
might not work well with Python 2.7 on the latest Windows versions. It's recommended to use Python 3.x and the latest version of psutil
for better compatibility and support. If possible, consider upgrading to Python 3.x.
Assuming you want to proceed with Python 2.7, here's how you can get the svchost.exe path:
- Install
psutil
:
bashpip install psutil
- Use the following Python code:
pythonimport psutil
def get_svchost_path_by_pid(pid):
try:
process = psutil.Process(pid)
if process.name() == 'svchost.exe':
return process.exe()
else:
return None
except psutil.NoSuchProcess:
return None
if __name__ == "__main__":
pid = 1234 # Replace with the actual PID of the svchost.exe process
svchost_path = get_svchost_path_by_pid(pid)
if svchost_path:
print("svchost.exe path:", svchost_path)
else:
print("svchost.exe not found with PID:", pid)
Replace 1234
with the actual PID of the svchost.exe process you want to retrieve. The get_svchost_path_by_pid
function will return the path of the svchost.exe process if it exists, or None
if the process is not found.
Keep in mind that psutil
might not work correctly with all versions of Windows and Python 2.7. If you encounter any issues, consider using Python 3.x and the latest version of psutil
.
