The command tasklist /svc | findstr /C:TermService is used in the Windows command-line environment to identify if any running processes are dependent on the „Terminal Services” service.

Breakdown:

  • tasklist /svc: This part of the command lists all running processes and their associated services.
  • | findstr /C:TermService: This part pipes the output of the tasklist command to the findstr command, which searches for lines containing the string „TermService”.

What it does:

  • The tasklist command provides a comprehensive list of all running processes on the system, along with their associated services.
  • The findstr command filters the output of tasklist to only display lines that contain the string „TermService”.

Output:

If any running processes are dependent on the „Terminal Services” service, the output will display those processes. For example, if the „Remote Desktop Services” process is running, the output might look like this:

svchost.exe (LocalService)              : TermService

Use Cases:

  • Troubleshooting: This command can be helpful in troubleshooting issues related to the „Terminal Services” service. If other services are dependent on it, stopping the „Terminal Services” service might have unintended consequences.
  • System Analysis: The command can be used to analyze system resource usage and identify processes that are dependent on specific services.

Note:

  • The output of this command may vary depending on the specific services running on the system.
  • This command requires administrative privileges to execute.
