In Jessie, you have to use: % pgrep -fa ntpd.pid
or % pgrep -a ntpd.pid depending on where you want pgrep to match pattern. Please, read carefully bug report #526355. Previous behaviour is really confusing and poor even if it is Sun Solaris compatible. IMHO, the only positive change is removing reference to Sun Solaris in man page.
