I am writing a script to check that the vob_server process is truly dead, of
not then I want to terminate it. I had a look at the storage directory .pid
file i.e. /export/home/vobstr/somevob.vbs/.pid, which I though would give me
the process number. I then compared it to the ps -ef output, and sometimes
it does match and sometimes not.
What is the use of the .pid file and can it be relied upon?
Regards,
Alex.
