Functions

func Pgrep

func Pgrep(expr string) ([]int, error)

Pgrep functions like `pgrep`, returning a list of PIDs by regular expression on their executable name. Note: Both return values may not be nil.

func Pkill

func Pkill(expr string, sig os.Signal) ([]int, error)

Pkill functions like `pkill`, sending a signal to each process found by regular expression on their executable name, and returning a list of PIDs and any errors during execution. Note: Some processes may have been signaled even if this command errors; thus both return values may not be nil.
