To check if Firefox is running I use:
if not 'firefox' in [i.name() for i in list(process_iter())]:
It probably could be made more efficient, because it can stop when it
finds the first instance.
But know I switched to Debian and there firefox is called firefox-esr.
So I should use:
re.search('^firefox', 'firefox-esr')
Is there a way to rewrite
[i.name() for i in list(process_iter())]
so that it returns True when there is a i.name() that matches and
False otherwise?
And is it possible to stop processing the list when it found a match?
