Pgrep
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is pgrep. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
pgrep is a command line utility initially written for use with the Solaris 7 operating systems and then ported to GNU/Linux. It searches for all the named processes, that can be specified as ERE patterns, and, by default, returns their ID. The equivalent Linux command is pidof.
Common use:
$ pgrep <option> processname ...
Some usage examples:
Show all process (in long form, ID and name) belonging to the other group
$ pgrep -l -G other
Show all process not belonging to root user
pgrep -v -u root
