Re: wrong pid

As a side note, I recommend using strictures:

use strict;
use warnings;

Doing the PID 'munging' yourself just seems wrong. A few modules that look appealing:

Unix::PID
Linux::Pid
File::Pid

There are more related modules on CPAN.

Hackish indeed! Maybe, but I didn't really want to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and I want the script to be as quick as possible. Also I'd like to understand what was going wrong in my original code. I might cave in to the Unix::PID module now, although it does has a few prereqs: `Warning: prerequisite Class::Std 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite Class::Std::Utils 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite List::Cycle 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite Math::Fibonacci::Phi 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite Time::HiRes 0 not found. Warning: prerequisite version 0 not found.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
