for process in c.Win32_Process ():
print process.ProcessId, process.Name
List all running notepad processes

c = wmi.WMI ()
for process in c.Win32_Process (name="notepad.exe"):
print process.ProcessId, process.Name
Create and then destroy a new notepad process
import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()
process_id, return_value = c.Win32_Process.Create
(CommandLine="notepad.exe")
for process in c.Win32_Process (ProcessId=process_id):
print process.ProcessId, process.Name
result = process.Terminate ()

I want to script the benchmarking of some compression algorithms on a
Windows box. The algorithms are all embodied in command line
executables, such as gzip and bzip2. I would like to measure three things:
1. size of compressed file
2. elapsed time (clock or preferably CPU)
3. memory used
The first is straightforward, as is measuring elapsed clock time. But
how would I get the CPU time used by a sub-process or the memory used?
I'm guessing that the Windows Performance Counters may be relevant, see
the recipe
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/303339
But I don't see any obvious way to get the process id of the spawned
subprocess.
