C Programming Language :: Source code for "pgrep"


	Source code for "pgrep" Hello. I am writing a program which has to send a signal (SIGUSR2 F.Y.I.) to a certain process, which I only know the name of, i.e. I need the PID for that process. How can I do this in C or C++? Also, I want to know where I can find the source code for the "pgrep" program. Thanks in advance. -- Deniz Dogan Deniz Dogan <kristn@nospam.com> writes: > I am writing a program which has to send a signal (SIGUSR2 F.Y.I.) to > a certain process, which I only know the name of, i.e. I need the PID > for that process. How can I do this in C or C++? This question would be better asked in comp.unix.programmer or a newsgroup specific to your actual operating system. > Also, I want to know where I can find the source code for the "pgrep" > program. http://procps.sourceforge.net/ -- "I'm not here to convince idiots not to be stupid.
