The reason why you aren't finding dpipe in your process list is that the
command only forks/executes the two plugs connecting each plug's stdout
to the other stdin and vice versa. You would have to look for the
plugs, but the advised method to control the network components is the
management interface when the switch is started in foreground, or via a
management socket.
Start your vde_switches with management socket (-M option), connect to
it (e.g. via vdecmd or unixterm) and use port/allprint command to get
information about all the running plugs. To kill a cable use
"port/epclose N ID" on either side. You can also use the 'shutdown'
command to kill the switch.
