Hi, I would like to find out all the process id with the process name 'emacs'.
In the shell, i can do this: $ ps -ef |grep emacs root 20731 8690 0 12:37 pts/2 00:00:09 emacs-snapshot-gtk root 25649 25357 0 13:55 pts/9 00:00:05 emacs-snapshot-gtk rtp.c root 26319 23926 0 14:06 pts/7 00:00:04 emacs-snapshot-gtk stressTestVideo.py root 26985 1 0 14:15 ? 00:00:01 /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot- gtk root 27472 21066 0 14:23 pts/5 00:00:00 grep emacs and I can see the process id is 20731, 25649, etc, etc. But now I would like to do the programmically in my python script. I know I can use ' os.system(cmd)' to execute the command 'ps -ef | grep emacs', but how can I pipe the output of my 'ps -ef | grep emacs' to my python script and then run a regression expression with it to get the process Ids? Thank you. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
