Kill apps under linux
« on: May 30, 2005, 08:30:34 pm »
I'm creating a updater for my program and I need to kill the program when I need to download the newest version.
First of all I need to list all process on the machine, to discover what pids to kill.
In the Linux API there is a way to do that? Where can I find more info about this?


Thanks

Have a look at this. And think of commands like ps.
To get a list of running processes you use ps. Catch the output and extract the process ID from your program. Then issue the kill -9 <pid> command.
