Yes, use "ps xalw | grep httpd". In the third column you see the processes' PPID (Parent Proces ID). All except one will have the same PPID. The one proces with PPID=1 is the parent, the rest are its children. > If yes, is this method applicable on any OS (linux) ? AFAIK, on any Unix-like OS. Although the format of the ps output may differ. > > thanks. > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
