IPTraf PID

[Paul Dean <paul@thecave.cantech.net.au>]

Hya list,

Just wondering if "process ID" handling is going to be added to the
program.

This would make it so much easier to run IPTraf as a daemon, as it has
the functionality already to do so.

Having a "/var/run/iptraf/iptraf.pid" file in which you could "cat",
then you run logrotate and parse the log file very easily via perl or
something.

Yes this can be done via a script anyway, but it's just a bit of a pain
to do a "ps x |grep iptraf" and then fiddle with the output to get your
pid.

Thanks...
