in reply to working with pid's

Not sure if i'm missing something, but I'm pretty sure the following will work:
@processes = map { (m@^(\d+)\s+\S+\s+\w+\s+[\d:]+\s+(.+)$@) && ($proce +ss = $1) && ($name = $2) && ($name =~ /q3ded/) \&& ($name =~ /\+exec +$type/) ? $process : () } `ps ax`;
Simply set $type to the name of the config file
Have fun ;-)
