Hello,
Can someone help me diagnose why the following fails to retrieve the
'exe' name KillByName?
...
for pid in processList:
try:
print "KillByName pid: " + str(pid)
handle = win32api.OpenProcess(win32con.PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,
False, pid)
print "KillByName handle: " + str(handle)
exe = win32api.GetModuleFileName(handle)
...
Is a handle a handle a handle? The win32api.CreateProcess that started
the process returns two (2) handles (hProcess and hThread) and the
OpenProcess
call above returns the second of those two handles (the hThread). Is
it that I need the 'other' handle as in:
"The result is a tuple of (hProcess, hThread, dwProcessId, dwThreadId)"
to send to win32api.GetModuleFileName(handle)?
No, handles are not interchangable. Window handles, process handles,
thread handles, file handles, event handles, registry handles, and
module handles are all completely different spaces. GetModuleFileName
requires an HMODULE -- a handle to a module. In fact, an HMODULE is
actually just the virtual address where the module is loaded *within
your own process*. (The module handle of your main executable is
0x00400000). You cannot call GetModuleFileName across processes.
