I'm trying to discover the path of a running process (Codewarrior IDE 7.2), and save it in a perl variable, so I will know where the application is located later. (This way I will know where to launch it from if it is quit).
The only way I can think of doing this is by executing a ps command, and parsing the output. However, there are some odd artifacts in the output. If I run ps -wwxocommand I get, as part of the output: /Volumes/CW 7.2 build tools/CodeWarrior 7.2/Metrowerks CodeWarrior/CodeWarrior IDE 4.2.6 /Volumes/CW 7.2 build tools/CodeWarrior 7.2/Metrowerks CodeWarrior/CodeWarrior IDE 4.2.6 -psn_0_6684673 This is partialy correct, but I do not understand why the command path is repeated twice. Does anyone understand this output? Does anyone know a better way to glean this information? Thanks, -Arshad
