| Mar 2, 2021 at 12:20 | comment | added | anthumchris | Is it possible to use pgrep to get the PID number without the full process file path? | |
| Mar 27, 2019 at 11:44 | comment | added | Ruslan | @kojiro right or wrong, but it doesn't have the same functionality as ps. E.g. you may want ps -Aostate,cmd | grep ..., which doesn't have a direct analogue with pgrep. | |
| Mar 6, 2018 at 1:49 | comment | added | Pablo A | @kojiro But what if I wan't to grep using more than just first 15 characters of the process name (not path nor arguments)? In that case pgrep became useless. -f use the full command line used, not just the real complete name. | |
| Jul 30, 2017 at 8:58 | comment | added | Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin | pgrep -fl has become pgrep -fa (details: serverfault.com/a/619788/44183) | |
| May 1, 2013 at 14:18 | comment | added | Maja Piechotka | You can always do ps $(pgrep cmd) ... if `pgrep is missing options (it won't work for empty set of commands though). | |
| May 1, 2013 at 11:33 | comment | added | kojiro | ps | grep '[f]nord' is clever and venerable, but pgrep is right. | |
| May 1, 2013 at 3:34 | comment | added | phemmer | There is also the -l argument to make it show the command that's being matched. | |
| Apr 30, 2013 at 18:09 | comment | added | michelpm | @jordanm Actually, pgrep -f will look more like ps -f | grep. | |
| Apr 30, 2013 at 14:16 | comment | added | jordanm | They will want the -f option to be more like ps | grep. | |
