[coLinux-users] 0.7.1 and no more '-a #' switch...

[Simon D. <Sim...@ya...>]

The 0.6.4 distro version of colinux-console-net supported the -d
switch that allows us to specify which running instance of coLinux
a console should attach to (I have two instances running as services),
and worked fine.

The 0.7.1 distro has forsaken this in place of the -a switch that
only accepts a PID.  This, too, is fine.  Except - well - I need to
acquire the PID and manually specify it as a command-line arg.

Does anyone know of a simple command-line tool that will take
a process name and return a PID?

Hmmm... Maybe I should just stop being bone idle, load Visual
Studio and write my own.

Now what would be be really sweet was if colinux-console-* could
simply accept the name of a running coLinux service to attach to.

Ps, anyone upgraded to Debian Etch from Sarge under coLinux yet?
