About yad [SOLVED]

[mikeb]

If i follow the need correctly you need a unique identifier for one particular yad process but outside of a script.

One approach I had was to make a unique sysmlink to say yad in /tmp...eg /tmp/yad-myscript

then launch your yad from /tmp/yad-myscript ... this then appears in such as pidof or ps as a unique running process thats easy to kill independantly.

Think in terms of mplayer and gmplayer...

Thank you mikeb!

I finally kept my solution and "pruned it away": this is very simple and seems to work fine:

Code: Select all

KillYad(){
		YAD_PID=`ps | grep yad | grep -w POSou | cut -d" " -f 1`
		kill -15 $YAD_PID

But, is there any contraindication to use it or something to add to make it better?

Cordialement.

No thats how I would normally do it if using $! was not possible

the create a tmp link is handy if say you had several yads running from multiple scripts that may no longer exist eg usin exec or &
