## README

# psutils
Process utilities written in Python without third-party libraries.

# Usage
```
from psutils import PsUtils

psutil = PsUtils()
psutil.get_process_id_by_name("bash")
psutil.process_is_running("bash")
psutil.process_is_running("/usr/share/code/code")
```

# Note
Argument to function paremeter must be uniq in all possible `/proc/<pid>/cmdline`.
e.g.
- process 1, start cmdline is `/usr/sbin/code`
- process 2, start cmdline is `/usr/bin/code2`

You should pass argument `/usr/sbin/code`, not `code`, because `code` also in process 2's cmdline.
Only in this way, we can distinguish two different process by its cmdline.
