get process id by using it's name.

[Jun Young Kim]

Hi, folks.

first )
I have a question to get a process id by using it's name for all
platforms.

second)
If I want to kill some processes by it's name, are there efficient way
to do it for all platform?
For a solution for this problem, I am now using the following way

ex)

lines = $x{ ps -Au${ENV['USER']} }.split("\r?\n")

lines.each do |line|
if line.match(process_name)
pids << line.strip.split[0]
end
end

count = 0
pids.each do |pid|
%x{ kill #{pid} }

count += 1 if $?.existstatus.zero?
end

print "total terminated processes : %d" % count

but, this way depends on only unix platforms.
moreover, I am not sure that all platform's output of "ps -Au" are same.

Try sys-proctable gem.

I know the sysproc library supports very good interface for this kinds =20=

of jobs.

but, sysproc doesn't support aix platforms.

$> rake test
(in /home/jykim/sys-proctable-0.8.0)
checking for rb_pid_t in ruby.h... yes
This platform not currently supported. Exiting...
.....

I need pure ruby lang based libraries or all platforms ported things

Since you seem to have access to an aix machine, I'm pretty sure it'll
be easy to add aix support. I doubt the calls needed are much
different than the other unix-based machines.

 

[Jun Young Kim]

yes, I also believe that is the best option for me

anyway, thanks for all.

I don't have access to an AIX machine, but this might get you started on
a port for sys-proctable:

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DURIST/Proc-ProcessTable-0.45/os/

There appear to be 2 variants for AIX, so I'm not sure which one Dan is
using, but perhaps they'll give you some ideas.
