Hello,
I am writing some scripts for linux and cygwin. To find out, if
a given pid (from /var/run/<pidfile> is really the pid of the
correct process I use the ps command on linux (and AIX, Solaris,
even HPUX with a trick) with the option -o pid=
Example:
# ps -ef | grep bash
root 1118 1112 0 11:55 pts/4 00:00:00 -bash
root 1195 1118 0 11:55 pts/4 00:00:00 grep bash
root 21885 21883 0 10:44 pts/3 00:00:00 -bash
root 31068 31065 0 Feb07 pts/1 00:00:00 bash
# ps -p 31068 -o pid= -o comm=
31068 bash
Trying same command on cygwin:
Administrator@server ~
$ ps -ef | grep bash
Administ 6456 4184 pty1 11:56:59 /usr/bin/bash
Administrator@server ~
$ ps -p 6456
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
6456 4184 6456 7016 pty1 500 11:56:59 /usr/bin/bash
Administrator@server ~
$ ps -p 6456 -o pid=
ps: unknown option -- o
Try `ps --help' for more information.
Administrator@server ~
$
I have searched the man page and the Cygwin projects, but did not found a way
to get
this working.
Is this a feature request?
Thanx, Holger
