Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I tried to get a pid of a running 'dd' process.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I typed pidof dd.
* What was the outcome of this action?
It returned nothing.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The pidof program should report the pid of the running dd process.
*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
How to reproduce:
Run dd, for example:
dd if=/dev/vdb of=/dev/null bs=1M iflag=direct status=progress
On another terminal, run "pidof dd" - it reports nothing.
If you stop the 'dd' process with Ctrl-Z, "pidof dd" returns its pid correctly.
If you resume it with "fg", "pidof dd" returns nothing.
