Process Logger is a free shell utility tool that records the programs initiated and completed on an operating system. It operates in the background, making use of a concealed service.
Process Logger works by recording the start and finish times of every program you launch on your Windows operating system, as well as the total execution time for each program. The exact events recorded depend on your version of Windows:
- On Windows 95/98/Me, Process Logger records the start and end of logging, the name of each program that's tracked, and the time interval between the start and finish of each program.
- On Windows NT/2000/XP, Process Logger records the start and end of logging, the name of each program tracked, the start time of each program, and the total execution time for each program.
Some of the benefits of using Process Logger include its small size and minimal system resource usage - on an AMD K6-2 300 processor, its CPU usage was less than 1%. Additionally, it remains hidden from inexperienced users, ensuring that your tracking activities remain private. Finally, because Process Logger tracks the total execution time for each program, it can be useful for analyzing and optimizing your system performance. Plus, it's completely free!
