The Mac uses ps -xw, but the same reasoning applies. It's rather hacky, but I'm in the same position as you, that since it's only used during testing, that's OK. (And in fact, the Mac version as it exists today would only work during testing so we're sure that no one will start using it in the actual app.) > I am not opposed > to (lazily, on a background thread) writing a pid file on Linux, > though I'd prefer some other solution if one could be found. I'm not fond of the idea, as it just litters things up. And since it's only needed for testing the app, but it would be written all the time (testing or not) it's just wasteful. > Maybe > it's to just remove the need for ChromeBrowserProcessId() somehow. It would be nice, but that's used to test the spawning of processes, so it might not be easily expurgated.
