The PID (Process ID) a unique number for each item on the Process Tab, Image Name list. How do you get the PID to appear?
In Task Manger, select the View menu, then select columns and check PID (Process Identifier).In Linux, PID is used to debug a process explicitly. However we cannot do this in a windows environment.
Microsoft has launched a SDK called as Microsoft Operations Management (MOM). This uses the PID to find out which dll’s have been loaded by a process in the memory. This is essentially helpful in situations where the Process which has a memory leak is to be traced to a erring dll. Personally I have never used a PID, our Windows debugger does the things required to find out.
