that gets the program its own PID. i think Evan is looking for something like pidof(8) i'd suggest grabbing busybox which has a short 'n sweet implementation of pidof... it relies on reading /proc entries, and so only works on UNIX/Linux and sufficiently similar OSes. /me takes a look.. the relevant files are libbb/procps.c and libbb/find_pid_by_name.c -- Aaron J.
