If you have the pgrep command: my @pids = `pgrep proxyd` =~ /\d+/g; If your ps command supports the -C switch: my @pids = `ps -C proxyd -o pid` =~ /\d+/g; Using your current ps command: my @pids = map /(\d+)\s+proxyd/, `ps -axo pid,ucomm`; John -- use Perl; program fulfillment -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
