Fix gparted not launching when PS_FORMAT environment variable set
Unlike ps(1)
, pgrep(1)
is not affected by environment variables such as PS_FORMAT
, so it is safe to use without assuming PS_FORMAT
is similar-enough to the default.
This is the root cause of Debian bug #864932, that caused a user who had PS_FORMAT
set to be unable to start gparted
, short of calling gpartedbin
directly, as ps -e | grep gpartedbin
matched the grep
process.
Moreover, this is more efficient and less error-prone.
