IMHO its easier and more straight forward to do the functionality of "pidof" directly in pascal code: - do a loop with a findnext() to handle all directories within "/proc" - in each of them test if a file "cmdline" exists - read cmdline in a staring - if this denotes the process you mean to access the directory name is the PID
Oh my god! Yet another approach of ransacking the whole disk. This time just to get a process ID. Is that state of the art software developement? There is no other way doing it on Linux? -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
