If multiple instances of the process are running in separate log-ins, I see the other instances. How can I determine if a particular process running as root is running from the current user's log-in session? Eric Hi Eric, I forget the exact details, but it's something to do with getting the group-leader pid I think. The log-in session will be a group leader. You need to find which one is at the "console" (not THAT console) and which ones are remote logins. Start by having a look at man page for "ps" - I think that will explain most of it.
