getpids

The getpids program is a small tool released under the GNU General Public License. It allows a calling Windows Process (or Batch file) to identify its process id (PID) or parent process id (PPID). The tool does so by reading its own process id and then using it to walk up the process hierarchy and gathering the process id`s of the parent processes. The collected PID`s are finally printed to STDOUT in an easy to parse format.
