--- Begin Message ---Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.96-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, *** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I tried to get a pid of a running 'dd' process. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I typed pidof dd. * What was the outcome of this action? It returned nothing. * What outcome did you expect instead? The pidof program should report the pid of the running dd process. *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** How to reproduce: Run dd, for example: dd if=/dev/vdb of=/dev/null bs=1M iflag=direct status=progress On another terminal, run "pidof dd" - it reports nothing. If you stop the 'dd' process with Ctrl-Z, "pidof dd" returns its pid correctly. If you resume it with "fg", "pidof dd" returns nothing. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: arm64 (aarch64) Foreign Architectures: armhf Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-rc1 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages sysvinit-utils depends on: ii libc6 2.31-4 ii lsb-base 11.1.0 sysvinit-utils recommends no packages. sysvinit-utils suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
