I have found this useful Linux command called pidof. Lately I have found that Firefox has been crashing with audio in Ubuntu 9.10.<\/p>\n
I have had to kill the process before I could restart it. I tried using top to see if Firefox was using processing power still. It wasn’t. I tried looking for it. Couldn’t find the process.<\/p>\n
So just about an hour ago Firefox did the same thing again. I searched the commands that would tell my the process id of an application. I found pidof.<\/p>\n
To use this command you will need the name of the application.<\/p>\n
syntax: pidof (application)
\n-s single shot: returns only 1 pid
\n-c root: returns root pid for the applications but you will need to be root to do so.
\n-x scripts: used to find the scripts that go along with the application
\n-o omit: omits processes with that process id<\/p>\n
