Help with use of pgrep or pkill commands with full name options.
I trying to use pgrep or pkill utility commands to find processes but using
the full path names, by example, find /usr/bin/bash (package procps-ng):
Then, if I use pgrep -f /usr/bin/bash, don't find nothing.
Using pkill -f /usr/bin/bash don't get the task.
If I use pidof /usr/bin/bash, this works.
How do I get it to do use pgrep, pkill, etc?
Look at the proc names using `procps -ae` - if it does not show a path, do not
use `-f, --fullname /path/name`, just use `name`, and you may have to experiment
if you want to use `-x, --exact`, and possibly other options.
