Do you mean your perl process? It's in the $$ variable. getppid() will return the PID of your process' parent. To get the id's of your children, you need to save the return values from fork() or pipe open(). To get the PID of an unrelated process is an OS-specific task, AFAIK. Some processes write their PID to a file. Or you can examine the output of ps(1) or the like. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
