Re: Neverwinter Nights Server Restart

Instead of using pidof and having a root requirement, why not just parse the output of a

ps aux | grep nwserver

(the pid is in the second column of the output, the options to ps may be different on your linux flavor) but that may help a bit.

Or you could look at Proc::ProcessTable which makes this easy (and a bit more portable)... gav^	[reply]

Excellent suggestion. ++insensate. I hate having root requirements for something like this, and it seems I missed one of the more obvious ways to avoid it this time ;) Thanks for pointing it out to me. MrCromeDome	[reply]
