pid - Retrieve process identifiers
SYNOPSIS
pid ?fileId?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
If the fileId argument is given then it should normally refer to a process pipeline created with the open command. In this case the pid
command will return a list whose elements are the process identifiers of all the processes in the pipeline, in order. The list will be
empty if fileId refers to an open file that isn't a process pipeline. If no fileId argument is given then pid returns the process identi-
fier of the current process. All process identifiers are returned as decimal strings.
EXAMPLE
Print process information about the processes in a pipeline using the SysV ps program before reading the output of that pipeline:
set pipeline [open "| zcat somefile.gz | grep foobar | sort -u"]
# Print process information
exec ps -fp [pid $pipeline] >@stdout
# Print a separator and then the output of the pipeline
puts [string repeat - 70]
puts [read $pipeline]
close $pipeline

then UNIX would return the Process ID (PID).... (7 Replies)

Like someone starts a ftp transfer, is uploading a file and I'd need to know which pid is actually writing to it.
Or is there a way to check which file a process is currently accessing?
Greetings and thanks for all your... (4 Replies)

Dear All,
