C++ Linux: Process PID from its path
I'm searching a way to get the current PID of a process having its path.
For example I know that the path firefox is /usr/bin/firefox, I have launched it and I would like to find its PID in C++.
How could I do that ?

Take a look at the 'pgrep' program. Source is here, I think: http://procps.sourceforge.net/
