Java interface to access OS events/active processes etc ?

[inlovewithmusic]

Hi,

I am writing an application to monitor Operating system events, processes and services that are running on an OS etc. Is there a JAVA library that I can use to access the same (events, active process statistics etc) for Windows as well as Linux platforms ?. If not , is there any other programming language/API that I can use for this ?

Regards

Normally you wouldn't want to use Java for programs that fiddle with OS related things.
Your best bet in Java is java.lang.manag ement.
