Getting the process identifier
Retrieve the current Process Identifier: getmypid()
Any active process is identified by operating system by a Process IDentifier (PID).
This number may be used to kill or manage the process.
In the shell, to retrieve the list of processes with the PID, you can use the ps
command.
In a PHP script you can retrieve the current process identifier with getmypid()
.
It returns an integer of the identifier or false
if an error occours.
