Why not:

"cmd /c "TASKLIST" proc pid.tmp 2> NUL"

This should work as long as tasklist and cmd are present, and in the
path.

W2K server is dead anyway, if it does not have the tasklist command
loaded (which I think is the case).

This way, you won't get burnt by Windows loads that are named something
other than "windows" - happens when you reload a system, but want to
keep the original system directory.

systems.
i'll make ecs look in both dirs in the next rev.
