Craig, I just started modifying pgrep to act as the former pidof
when correctly symlinked ... and the conslusion is:
I don't consider pgrep suitable for adopting the pidof behaviour.
The matching/sorting logic is so different, that it resulted in
something like 'application in application'.
Would you mind if I create a separate pidof application
instead of modifying pgrep?
Please, let me know.
Regards,
Jaromir.
