PIDOF(1)                         User Commands                        PIDOF(1)
NAME
       pidof -- find the process ID of a running program.
SYNOPSIS
       pidof  [-s]  [-c]  [-x]  [-o  omitpid[,omitpid..]]   [-o omitpid[,omit-
       pid..]..]  [-S separator] program [program..]
DESCRIPTION
       Pidof finds the process id's (pids) of the named  programs.  It  prints
       those id's on the standard output.
OPTIONS
       -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.
       -w     Show  also processes that do not have visible command line (e.g.
              kernel worker threads).
       -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.
       -S separator
              Use separator as a separator put between pids.  Used  only  when
              more than one pids are printed for the program.
EXIT STATUS
       0      At least one program was found with the requested name.
       1      No program was found with the requested name.
BUGS
       When  using the -x option, pidof only has a simple method for detecting
       scripts and will miss scripts that, for example, use env. This  limita-
       tion is due to how the scripts look in the proc filesystem.
