pidof(8) |
 |
pidof -- find the process ID of a running program.
pidof [−s] [−x] [−o omitpid] [−o omitpid..] program [program..]
Pidof finds the process id’s (pids) of the named programs. It prints those id’s on the standard output. This program is typically used in run-level change scripts, especially when the system has a System-V like rc structure. In that case these scripts are located in /etc/rc?.d, where ? is the runlevel.
|
-s |
Single shot - this instructs the program to only return one pid. | ||
|
-x |
Scripts too - this causes the program to also return process id’s of shells running the named scripts. | ||
|
-o |
Tells pidof to omit processes with that process id. The special pid %PPID can be used to name the parent process of the pidof program, in other words the calling shell or shell script. |
pidof is simply a (symbolic) link to the killall5 program, which should also be located in /sbin.
