Arm needed a capability like this so it can provide useful messaging (ie "Tor isn't running" vs "Tor's running, but without a control port"). This is done via the 'get_pid_by_*' methods in stem's system module... https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/blob/HEAD:/stem/util/system.py Is that the sort of thing that you're looking for? -Damian _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list tor-dev@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
