|
||||
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.B Pidof
|
||||
finds the process id's (pids) of the named programs. It prints those
|
||||
id's on the standard output. This program is on some systems used in
|
||||
run-level change scripts, especially when the system has a
|
||||
\fISystem-V\fP like \fIrc\fP structure. In that case these scripts are
|
||||
located in /etc/rc?.d, where ? is the runlevel. If the system has
|
||||
a
|
||||
.B start-stop-daemon
|
||||
(8) program that should be used instead.
|
||||
.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. The special
|
||||
pid \fB%PPID\fP can be used to name the parent process of the \fIpidof\fP
|
||||
program, in other words the calling shell or shell script.
|
||||
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B 0
|
||||
At least one program was found with the requested name.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B 1
|
||||
No program was found with the requested name.
|
||||
.SH NOTES
|
||||
\fIpidof\fP is actually the same program as \fIkillall5\fP;
|
||||
the program behaves according to the name under which it is called.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
When \fIpidof\fP is invoked with a full pathname to the program it
|
||||
should find the pid of, it is reasonably safe. Otherwise it is possible
|
||||
that it returns pids of running programs that happen to have the same name
|
||||
as the program you're after but are actually other programs.
