list internal command

The list command takes the following form:

The command displays a list view containing objects that match OBJECTNAME. If OBJECTTYPE is specified, only matching objects of that type are searched. OBJECTTYPE may be one of service, process, remoteshare, localshare, network, printer or file. Even if no matching objects are found, an empty view is still created and will be populated if and when matching objects of that type are created.

If OBJECTTYPE is not specified, the command searches for object types in the following order:

• Windows services
• Processes
• Remote file shares
• Local file shares
• Network connections
• Printers
• Files and directories

All matching objects of a specific type are displayed. However, no attempt is made at matching against further object types. If objects of the wrong type are being displayed, use the OBJECTTYPE parameter to restrict matching to a specific object type.

In all cases, the object space is searched using multiple match criteria.

• For services, OBJECTNAME is matched against the internal and display service names.
• For processes, OBJECTNAME is matched against the process id, path, name (with and without file name extension), or the title of toplevel windows. The results of the first match type that succeeds are displayed.
• For remote shares, matching is tried using an exact match, only the share name, only the system name and finally with trailing wildcards. The results of the first match type that succeeds are displayed.
• For local shares, matching is tried with the exact share name and then with trailing wildcards.
• Network connections are matched against local or remote port numbers, IP addresses, host names and finally service names.
• Matching against printers is similar to matching against remote shares as described above.
• Files and directories are matched using wildcards. If no match is found, then the list of directories in the PATH environment variable is searched.
