Absolute Control

Introduction

A library for assisting with control of computer processes using python.

Install via pip through PyPi

pip install absolute-control

Usage

Get all processes running on the system

from absolute_control import get_all_processes

processes = get_all_processes()

You may also filter by pid, or by name.

from absolute_control import get_process_by_id, get_process_by_name

pid_processes = get_process_by_id(12345)
name_processes = get_process_by_name('chrome')

Kill all processes on the system. Note: This will kill all processes on the system, including the ones you have not started provided you have permission to do so.

from absolute_control import kill_all_processes

kill_all_processes()

You may kill processes by name or pid.

from absolute_control import kill_process_by_id, kill_processes_by_name

kill_process_by_id(12345)
kill_processes_by_name('chrome')

Start a new process.

from absolute_control import open_process_using_command

process = open_process_using_command('chrome')
