You can get the pid of processes by name using pidof through subprocess.check_output: from subprocess import check_output def get_pid(name): return check_output([“pidof”,name]) In [5]: get_pid(“java”) Out[5]: ‘23366\n’ check_output([“pidof”,name]) will run the command as “pidof process_name”, If the return code was non-zero it raises a CalledProcessError. To handle multiple entries and cast to ints: from subprocess import … Read more
There are many services, which can listen port 80 on windows. Luckily you can detect and stop them all running simple console command: NET stop HTTP When you’ll start it, you will get list first: To avoid this problem in future go to Local Services and disable listed services. N.B. – Some services will restart … Read more
Since Java 9 class Process has new method long pid(), so it is as simple as ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(“cmd”, “/c”, “path”); try { Process p = pb.start(); long pid = p.pid(); } catch (IOException ex) { // … }
You need to save the PID of the background process at the time you start it: foo & FOO_PID=$! # do other stuff kill $FOO_PID You cannot use job control, since that is an interactive feature and tied to a controlling terminal. A script will not necessarily have a terminal attached at all so job … Read more
There exists no platform-independent way that can be guaranteed to work in all jvm implementations. ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getName() looks like the best (closest) solution, and typically includes the PID. It’s short, and probably works in every implementation in wide use. On linux+windows it returns a value like “12345@hostname” (12345 being the process id). Beware though that according … Read more
