The /var/run solution is almost canonic for Linux.
But how to do this in a multi-platform way?
2006/10/3, Ales Katona <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
/var/run with pids is also present in FreeBSD 5.x+
But it's just a dumpspace for these things..
It still doesn't add anything useful :) I think there's some syscall to
do what "ps" does basicly. Might be worth looking at, that way you won't
depend on external crap.
