pidof is a small program that will return the PID number for a given process name.

Note that this program works similar to using grep - it will list all matches for the given process name, so if there are more than one process that contain the name given, all will be listed.

To install, either use sudo ./installer from this directory, or copy the pidof program file to where you wish, and the man page if you wish to install that, as well.

You can customize the install path with the installer by giving it the path you wish to install as an argument. E.g. sudo ./installer /usr will install it to /usr rather than to /usr/local (the default).
