OOMMF and Process ID Information: pidinfo

The pidinfo command returns the mapping of OOMMF ID's (OID's) to system process ID's (PID's).

Launching
The pidinfo command line is:

tclsh oommf.tcl pidinfo [standard options] [-account name] \
   [-noheader] [-hostport port] [-ports] [-v] [oid ...]
where
-account name
Specify the account name. The default is the same used by mmLaunch: the current user login name, except on Windows 9X, where the dummy account ID ``oommf'' may be used instead.
-noheader
Don't print column headers.
-hostport port
Use the host server listening on port. Default is set by the Net_Host port setting in oommf/config/options.tcl, usually 15136.
-ports
Display active server ports for each application.
-v
Display information about the host and account servers.
oid ...
List of OOMMF ID's to display information about. Default is all current applications.
The title bar of running OOMMF applications typically displays the application OID, which are used by OOMMF applications to identify one another. These ID's start at 0 and are incremented each time a newly launched application registers with the account server. The OID's are independent of the operating system PID's. The PID is needed to obtain information, e.g., resource use, about a running process using system utilities. The PID may also be needed to invoke the operating system ``kill'' facility to terminate a rogue OOMMF application.
