Hi all,
as always amazing software.

I'm trying to find the process name for jdownloader2 but it doesn't seem to be

ps aux | grep jdownloader2 | grep -v grep

result is zero.

What is the process name for jdownloader 2?

[snuffleupagus]

Is the process name "JavaApplicationStub" if so is that name unique to jdownloader?

Try:

ps -ef | grep JDownloader

And/or:
When JDownloader is running, you will find a file named "JDownloader.pid" in your JD install dir.
This file contains the processID of JD which you can use to kill it too.

Thanks for the response.

Hmm odd I got this error:

ps ‑ef | grep JDownloader                   
ps: illegal option -- ?
usage: ps [-AaCcEefhjlMmrSTvwXx] [-O fmt | -o fmt] [-G gid[,gid...]]
          [-u]
          [-p pid[,pid...]] [-t tty[,tty...]] [-U user[,user...]]
       ps [-L]

Works fine on my Synology.

Thank you for confirming it is running on Synology. But I was wondering why the command is working on non synology systems and what command could return the status of the state of with jdownloader is running?

It works on Linux systems and Linux is the operating system running on all Synology models

What do you mean by that?
You could either check if the process is running or not or check for the existance of that .pid file.

Both will only let you know if JD is running or not.
If JD e.g. freezed up you won't be able to tell.
Only if you e.g. make JD do something and check if it responds e.g. by using our myjdownloader API you could tell 100% if JD is currently running & responsive or not.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure if I've understood your request.

The actual command to use to see if the jdownloader process is running.

No worries. Sometimes text isn't clear. I apologize for the unclarity.

[pspzockerscene]

I'm sorry.
You got it working now or should I change the prefix of this thread back?
