Hi Zing,

Looking from inside your program you could do the following :

fuser -fu </file/to/program/>

to find any running processes, accessing this file (program)

or

ps -ef | grep <name of program> | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2}'

This is a possibility too, to find a running process. As you understand this will have to be translated into C. To be honest, I am not this far in Programming C, but it might get you a little closer to your solution.

Please don't use the term exe anymore. It sounds too much like .exe .An executable would be preferred Smilie

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...] zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1). The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern argument. zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1). EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1) AUTHORS
