A pid file is a file which contains a record of the process which created
|
|
it. Pids are written down to files so that:
|
|
|
|
* a program can know whether an instance of itself is currently running
|
|
* other processes can know the pid of a running program
|
|
|
|
This module can be used so that your script can do the former.
