Thank-you Patrick.
I studied the man page for pidof.  As I understand it, it implies that pidof does not work across login names; user2 cannot see user1's processes:
-----
[from the description of option "-c"]
This option is ignored for non-root users, as they will be unable to check the current root directory of processes they do not own.
-----
So this will not work.

Bill.
