You could always do something like:

my $result = qx/pgrep .*/;

This would result in a set of pids for the active shell, one per line. You'll have to investigate to determine the usability of these results. Also, I have only shown the broadest possible result... you'll be able to tweak the arguments to pgrep to fine-tune it.

Here's the current output on my system:

foo@bar  ~:  pgrep .*

I hope this is helpful.


Your wish is my commandline.
