List Processes
The little 'what's actually running' node
- trigger
- trigger
- process_keys
ListProcesses is the debugger of the comfyui-sg-process-manager pack - the smallest node in it, and the one you'll reach for when a workflow's processes aren't behaving and you want to know what's actually registered. It does exactly one thing: hands you the list of process_key names the pack is currently tracking.
Nothing to configure. It has one input, trigger (any type, passthrough - it only runs when fed), and two outputs:
trigger- passthrough of whatever you fed in.process_keys- a list of strings: every key the pack currently holds in its global registry.
Why you'd use it
Two honest use cases. First, debugging: a Kill Process keeps telling you "Process not found" and you're not sure why - wire a ListProcesses in, and you'll see the exact keys the pack thinks exist. It's the difference between guessing a typo and seeing it. Second, verification in an automated workflow: wire process_keys into a text/display node or a logging branch so a run's output shows what got started and cleaned up.
The one thing that surprises people
It only knows about processes this pack started via Start Process. It is not ps - it won't list every process on your machine, and it doesn't report PIDs or CPU usage. And because the registry is key-based, a process that exited on its own can still appear in the list until something kills the key or ComfyUI restarts. Treat the list as "what the pack thinks is alive," not "what is actually alive."
Install
Same as the rest of the pack. Manager search "comfyui-sg-process-manager", or:
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/sebagallo/comfyui-sg-process-manager.git
Restart ComfyUI. No dependencies, no models, nothing to download.
It's a genuinely thin node and it's fine that it is. Sometimes you need a two-output window into a global registry, and that's all this is.
