Hi all,
I have a file (~/.dracktrack) it consists of lines of data which represent the following
<$pid> <$dir> <$name>
For each line, I want to do the following
Check to see if the pid is running if it is print Process $pid running $name in $dir \n
If it isn't running delete the line.
This seems simple enough, but I can't seem to figure out how to tell if a pid is running. I have seen references to "kill" but I don't want to do that..
Any ideas?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
