[Lazarus] Process ID

[Kaj Mikkelsen]

If I understand your question correct, you are asking for a lazarus
function.
I don't think that exists.
But you can use the TProcess to execute a linux command and grab the output.
Pidof will give you the processed of a specific program.
Ps is much more multipurpose, and it does *not* requires you to be root.
At leat not in RedHat/Centos

You can use the following command to find all processes for a specific user
(using kmi as an example):
ps aux | grep  -w ^kmi

"pidof" is much more effective for it.
