Pid

jucovschi · 10-02-2002, 11:46 AM

I write in a batch file

./myprog &

1) How can I find the PID of this program without looking for it in Process list
or Can I find the PID of this program with looking in Process list but I want to be sure it is the
one I run.

2) If I write wait %1 it give me "job control not enabled" - what can I do to enable it ?

If you want to look in the proccess list yourself:

Code:

ps auxw | grep myprog

If you don't want to do that:

Code:

if test "x`pidof myprog`" != x; then
echo "Stopping myprog ..."
killproc myprog
fi

1. "$$" Here's an example:
#!/bin/sh
echo "My PID is $$"; ps | grep "TEST"

2. What shell are you in?

* pidof resides in /sbin, and therefore should not be in the path of "regular" users, also the "killproc" function only works on Red Hat, and only if you source /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions.
