pidof for AIX?

[BobMCT]

Linux has a neat command called pidof which some usenet searches show is being used by some aix shops. However, I can't seem to locate a binary for this program.

Does anyone know if/where a binary for v5.1 is. Or does anyone have a binary that will run on v5.1 and be willing to email it? If not, anyone know where the source might be?

TIA

hi ,
why don't you use the ps command to get your own pid of a particular process ?

e.g ps -e -o ruser,vsz,pid,time,args | grep cron

or email

who is the author of pidof on LINUX and ask if there is similar version on AIX

Alternatively,

You could use this simple PERL script, that uses the AIX command pstat...

#!/bin/perl
use Shell;

@pid = pstat("-a");
foreach (@pid) {
if (/$ARGV[0]/) {
print $_;
}
}
