Detailed Summary

This is different than executing ps in a terminal since this only reports back running applications, not all processes running on a system. 
let procs = $.NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace.runningApplications.js;
for(let i = 0; i < procs.length; i++){
    let info = {};
    info['frontMost'] = procs[i].active;
    info['hidden'] = procs[i].hidden;
    info['bundle'] = procs[i].bundleIdentifier.js;
    info['bundleURL'] = procs[i].bundleURL.path.js;
    info['bin_path'] = procs[i].executableURL.path.js;
    info['process_id'] = procs[i].processIdentifier;
    info['name'] = procs[i].localizedName.js;
    if(procs[i].executableArchitecture === "16777223"){
        info['architecture'] = "x64";
    }
    else if(procs[i].executableArchitecture === "7"){
        info['architecture'] = "x86";
    }
    else if(procs[i].executableArchitecture === "18"){
        info['architecture'] = "x86_PPC";
    }
    else if(procs[i].executableArchitecture === "16777234"){
        info['architecture'] = "x86_64_PPC";
    }
    names.push(info);
}
