Can OSDM find out its own PID?

[coroto]

I'm wondering how the LISP code in OSDM can inquire/retrieve the process ID number of the OSDM session. Any good ideas? Is it something you'd have to write an external (e.g. VBScript) program to accomplish? In my case I only care about doing this on Windows (not HP-UX).

What if there happens to be >1 OSDM session running on a machine? How could you make sure you were getting the right one?

I am currently not aware of a way to inquire the process ID from within OSDM. The only hack proposal I can come up with is to start a process from OSDM, have that process inquire its own ID and then, using the ID, walk up the chain of parent processes until it finds SolidDesigner.exe. Disgusting, kind of - still hoping there is a better way to solve this.

What do you need the process ID for?

Hello to everybody,

in order to find out the process ID of OSDM (soliddesigner) I write a VBS script.
Digit:

(setf PID (SD-SYS-EXEC "find_pid.vbs Soliddesigner.exe"))

the variable PID there is the number of the processID.

Pay attention to the path where you put the find_pid.vbs file.

Find_pid.vbs script runs well if only one OSDM is active.

P.S.: rename the file in vbs
