process id

[bandez]

Hi !!

How can find out the process id of a dead process?
I mean , if somebody kill a process how I can define the process id .
I think there is no way to do that but... maybe there is.

You are right -- once it's killed, you won't know the process ID. However, there are some processes that write their process ID to a text file when they are started. If that is the kind of process that was killed, you might be able to find it in the text file -- if you know where the file is.

If you have a script you can print the $$ var to show your script's pid. Works on the command line too, gives pid of your shell. IBM Certified -- AIX 4.3 Obfuscation
