Hi Guru's SYS stuff: perl 5.05 on Tru64 Unix.
I am writing a script that needs to find the process IDs of a couple of processes (so they can be killed nicely). Under the csh i would usually do "ps -e| grep process". I am not sure if I can do something like this using system or if there is a module that would save a lot of work. I was thinking of doing something like: $output = `system(ps -e)` and doing some regexp on $output. Would that seem like the way to go?
