Figure out processes startup environment
Sometimes it is necessary to figure out what environment variables a process was started with. If you're on a *nix system having a procfs you can just take a look in /proc/<pid>/environ.
This is a sample from a server running a PostgreSQL instance:
roppert@piper ~ $ ps aux | grep postgres postgres 23603 0.0 1.0 37996 3864 ? Ss Dec02 0:05 /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/bin/postgres --silent-mode=true postgres 23606 0.0 1.0 37996 3896 ? Ss Dec02 0:00 postgres: writer process postgres 23607 0.0 1.0 37996 3880 ? Ss Dec02 0:00 postgres: wal writer process postgres 23608 0.0 1.0 37996 3940 ? Ss Dec02 0:00 postgres: autovacuum launcher process postgres 23609 0.0 0.6 9316 2408 ? Ss Dec02 0:07 postgres: stats collector process roppert 31814 0.0 0.1 4612 740 pts/4 R+ 23:29 0:00 grep --colour=auto postgres roppert@piper ~ $ sudo cat /proc/23603/environ TERM=screenSHELL=/bin/bashUSER=postgresPATH=/bin:/usr/bin_=/usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/bin/postgresPWD=/var/lib/postgresqlPGLOCALEDIR=/usr/share/postgresql-8.3/localePGSYSCONFDIR=/etc/postgresql-8.3HOME=/var/lib/postgresqlSHLVL=2LOGNAME=postgresPGDATA=/var/lib/postgresql/8.3/datarobertg@piper ~ $
I have no clue on how to do this on a Windows system. Anyone?

On Windows? Of course you can. Windows has CreateRemoteThread.
