I forgot: the "suid.cpp" file of simple-netaid contains C code detecting
the running processes (for kulling dhclient, wpa_suplicant and so...),
including an exception because time to time some files cannot be opened in
read mode i seem to remember. Have a look at the code of
"kill_all_processes" function. It might be useful for your purposses, i hope.

Recently i put a link to the newest sources of simple-netaid, here in the
mailing list.

Sorry, but i haven't any computer to hand so far :(

Aitor.
