The processes of the machine by their pid, the way the ps, pgrep and
kill commands of a shell handle them: any process, not only the ones a
Shell started (an app started from another terminal), on Linux
(/proc), macOS (ps) and Windows (PowerShell, tasklist).
A process of another user is seen (isRunning, descendantsOf) but usually not found by its executable (findByExecutable, except on macOS) and cannot be killed (kill, unless root or administrator).
Not to be confused with Shell.kill, which kills the command a shell runs.

Static Methods
-
descendantsOf(
int pid) → Future< List< int> > -
The pids of the running descendants of
pid(its children, their children...), the closest first, empty when none. -
findByExecutable(
String executable) → Future< List< int> > -
The pids of the running processes of
executable(the path of an executable file, relative to the current directory or absolute), empty when none. -
isRunning(
int pid) → Future< bool> -
True when the process
pidis running: false once exited (a zombie, not reaped yet by its parent, is not running). -
kill(
Iterable< int> pids, {ProcessSignal signal = io.ProcessSignal.sigterm, bool tree = false, Duration timeout = const Duration(seconds: 5)}) → Future<List< int> > -
Kills the processes
pidsand waits for them to exit:signal(sigtermby default) first, thensigkillfor the ones still running aftertimeout(2 more seconds for these).
