PSID, New idea



Here is somthing i'v experimented with (this only applies to tcsh)

/bin/tcsh -c "pppd (bla bla bla) & ; jobs -l > /tmp/.ppp.pid";

then /tmp/.ppp.pid would look like this:

[1]    28868 Done     /usr/sbin/pppd


then what is left is just to cat it with awk and finito.



i even tested with files that execute for a milli second :)
and this line was able to pick up the proccess with no problem.
