PIDOF(1) User Commands PIDOF(1)
pidof -- find the process ID of a running program.
pidof [-s] [-c] [-x] [-o omitpid[,omitpid..]] [-o
omitpid[,omitpid..]..] program [program..]
Pidof finds the process id's (pids) of the named programs. It prints
those id's on the standard output.
-s Single shot - this instructs the program to only return one
pid.
-c Only return process ids that are running with the same root
directory. This option is ignored for non-root users, as they
will be unable to check the current root directory of
processes they do not own.
-x Scripts too - this causes the program to also return process
id's of shells running the named scripts.
-o omitpid
Tells pidof to omit processes with that process id. The
special pid %PPID can be used to name the parent process of
the pidof program, in other words the calling shell or shell
script.
0 At least one program was found with the requested name.
1 No program was found with the requested name.
pgrep(1), pkill(1)
