It comes with various sdk's and Visual studio stuff. Check tools subdirectory under the latter. Pstat prints a snapshot of pmon plus drivers info which means info about every process and thread running as well as drivers loaded, so the above threw away a lot of lines to get the one: [23:38] C:\pywk\clp>pstat|wc 442 3350 27404 ;-) There's got to be something leaner though.
