Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/pgrep
One sees
-F, --pidfile file
Read PID's from file. This option is perhaps more useful for
pkill than pgrep.
OK, but also please allow specifying them on the command line. Else big hassle:
$ echo 12345 | pgrep -F -
pgrep: pidfile not valid
Try `pgrep --help' for more information.
$ echo 12345 | pgrep -F /dev/stdin
pgrep: pidfile not valid
Try `pgrep --help' for more information.
$ echo 12345 > /tmp/g; pgrep -F /tmp/g
I mean imagine a kill command that doesn't accept PIDs !?
