If you're trying to be exact and ONLY get the process you're probably
interested in, here's a scenario:
sh-3.2$ pgrep -lf CARROT # list process-id and full command line
911 /Applications/CARROTweather.app/Contents/MacOS/CARROTweather
sh-3.2$ pgrep -l CARROT # list process-id and just command nam

SIGSEGV, SIGILL should at

processes may be able to refuse being attached to or traced.
Don't forget top, Activity Monitor, and (for certain information) lsof.

Hi;
what port(s) give me good control over processes (list, kill, etc)
