On OS X or not from a perl script. How can I do it?
"ps" doesn't list the processes like Illustrator.
"px x" does. ;-)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $ps = (grep /Adobe Illustrator/, split("\n", `ps x`))[0];
my ($pid, $tt, $status, $time, $cmd) = split(" ", $ps, 5);
print <<EOF;
PID = $pid
TT = $tt
STATUS = $status
TIME = $time
CMD = $cmd
EOF
