-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I've got /bin/pidof softlinked to /bin/killall, according to the pidof(8) man page. The pidof(8) man page says: "-s Single shot - this instructs the program to only return one pid." Since running pidof with the name of a particular process returns multiple pids for that process, I need to use the -s flag, since the bash script I'm running pidof in needs to have a single pid returned, and does not expect to see multiple pids. This expectation is safe, since all I want to do is to check if an instance of that process is running at all. So, I do: pidof -s process_name , and I get back: "process_name: unknown signal; killall -l lists signals." Does anyone know how else I can get pidof to return a single pid? Thanks in advance.
