I know this isn't high priority, but it's really just a one-line change. I don't know how but I've tracked down the "where", at least:
I think in pgrep.c 797: if (strcmp (program_invocation_short_name, "pwait") == 0) { must be updated to also check for pidwait, that should do it. Workaround: Run (once): $ ln -s ../../bin/pidwait /usr/local/bin/pwait Then use `pwait` instead of `pidwait`. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2057944 Title: pidwait doesn't work.
