Hi
It's the most asked question in this mail-list =)
Here is solution
--
/* Find a task by name
* @param in_name[] executable name excluding path
* @return pointer to corresponding task or null
*/
struct task_struct *find_task_by_name( char in_name[ PROCNAMELEN ] ) {
struct task_struct *task;
for_each_process(task) {
if ( strncmp( task->comm, in_name, PROCNAMELEN ) == 0 )
return task;
next_task( task );
}
return NULL;
}
struct task_struct *process_ptr;
//process pointer
process_ptr = find_task_by_pid(process_pid);
//find by pid
or
process_ptr = find_task_by_name("you_process_name"); //find by name
send_sig(SIGUSR1, process_ptr, 0); //Sending signal
