But to compose anything > like that oneself, - that is painful ;) That is why a sane way to write something of that kind would be taskset -p 0x00000002 `pgrep Xorg` Every time you see a pipe from grep to awk you immediately know that something is wrong. > But it did not improve. That what I would call painful. Michal p.s. Even on a system where pgrep and /sbin/pidof are not available then something like ps ax | awk '/[X]org/{print $1}' or similar will produce a desired process id. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
