As the sysvinit becomes obsolete, some of the bundled tools need to find a new home. The procps-ng project seems to be the most suitable project for adopting the pidof tool. This commit introduces a redesigned version of pidof that satisfies the LSB requirements. In corner cases the behaviour might differ from the former one as the new version doesn't use any stat(2) calls.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B Pidof
|
|
finds the process id's (pids) of the named programs. It prints those
|
|
id's on the standard output.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.IP \-s
|
|
Single shot - this instructs the program to only return one \fIpid\fP.
|
|
.IP \-c
|
|
Only return process ids that are running with the same root directory.
|
|
This option is ignored for non-root users, as they will be unable to check
|
|
the current root directory of processes they do not own.
|
|
.IP \-x
|
|
Scripts too - this causes the program to also return process id's of
|
|
shells running the named scripts.
|
|
.IP "-o \fIomitpid\fP"
|
|
Tells \fIpidof\fP to omit processes with that process id.
|
|
