Re: path_lookup for executable

Thanks for response. Is there any other way to identify if "current" is a
certain program such as java. You cannot surely go by name (comm field of
task_struct). Since It could be linked. In another word, I want to identify
the executing current program. Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Eyub

Hi,
what makes you think the current executable has any meaning? It can be
unlinked, renamed or moved in the directory hierarchy since the program
was started... (and if you would go by inode number.. then there's
multiple answers possible)
