SABnzbd Forums

I'm running multiple instances (for mutiple users) of SABnzbd 0.6.9 on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit. I would like to be able to see which SABnzbd.exe process belongs to which user. Apart from changing the executable name, is there any way to distinguish between the processes?

No, because the OS doesn't know who is actually using a session,
assuming you don't run the sessions under different OS user accounts.
Renaming the EXE file is the only solution.

Thanks for your reply. I had a little hope there'd be a forgotten command line parameter.

I *could* start the processes using "run as" of course...

If the task manager shows you the parameters used to start the process, there may be an alternative.
SABnzbd.exe john -f c:\path\to\john.ini
The first "john" parameter will be ignored by SABnzbd.

It doesn't show the parameters and SAB doesn't seem to work when started that way, although the process is started. It doesn't really matter, SABnzbd is quite stable and I rarely need to manage the process from the process manager. When necessary I'll fix up a script that finds out the newly started process id.

Thanks for your answer anyway

I found a solution to my problem. In Windows Task Manager, go to View > Select Columns and check 'Command Line'.
