If I understand your question correct, you are asking for a lazarus
function.
I don't think that exists.
But you can use the TProcess to execute a linux command and grab the output.
Pidof will give you the processed of a specific program.
Ps is much more multipurpose, and it does *not* requires you to be root.
At leat not in RedHat/Centos
You can use the following command to find all processes for a specific user
(using kmi as an example):
ps aux | grep -w ^kmi
Please use the same quoting convention as the messages you are
responding to. The thread was already growing downwards, and adding a
message to the top is inappropriate.
In my experience, using ps etc. is wrong since apart from the efficiency
aspect it makes several assumptions:
i) That the ps binary is available.
ii) That the command-line options you need are universally implemented.
iii) That (at least in the case of Linux) the /proc filesystem is available.
I think that it's probably more portable to go straight to the values
available in /proc, if you can't read them then it's unlikely that ps
would show you much more.
