PMVKPROC v1.2 

The PMVKPROC utility list all processes runnning in OS/2 2.X in an PM window. 
The parent-child dependencies and a detailed information for every process is 
shown. Additionally every shown process can be killed by the user. 

PMVKPROC is a full 32-bit application which uses the undocumented API 
DosQProcStatus to get a list of running processes  - therefore its stability is 
in question because IBM could change or remove this API without telling anyone. 
But this API stayed the same for a long time.... 

The main window contains the following areas: 

o Two list boxes: 

   - Processes list box 
   - Process info box 

o Four buttons: 

   - Refresh button 
   - Kill button 
   - Exit button 
   - Help button

This list box displays all processes which are currently running. 

The processes are listed with their full name. The parent-child relationship 
between the processes is shown by indenting the child process one character.

    \os2\pmshell.exe
     \os2\cmd.exe
     \os2\epm.exe

The processes cmd.exe and epm.exe are childs of pmshell.exe. so cmd.exe and
