Hi,
I'm running windows nt4.0 server.
Can anybody tell me how to see if a job is running from the command prompt.
Thank You.

The command you require is net start, this will then show what jobs are running.

Well, if you need to see if a Command Prompt is running, open up Task Manager and look for CMD.EXE
If it is there, then there is a Command Prompt window open.

Now, if you are running a DOS-level process in the Command Prompt window, it will show up in CSRSS.EXE
So, open a Command Prompt, do a DIR /S to do a directory listing of the entire drive, and look at the CPU usage of CSRSS.EXE.
It should be high.
Other than that, if a Command Prompt opens another application, then that app will be listed by itself in Task Manager, in its own memory space.

hope this helps
