Processes of a particular session leader in linux

[a86....@gmail.com]

Hi,

I need in linux all the processes from of a particular session leader. With ps command I do:

ps -o pid,%cpu,%mem,user,command -g <pid_session_leader>

How could I get it using psutil?

Thanks and best regards

What is a session leader? The user who owns the process? You may wanna check username() and uids() methods of the Process class.

Hi,

On linux, every process group is in a unique session. (When the process is created, it becomes a member of the session of its parent.) By convention, the session ID of a session equals the process ID of the first member of the session, called the session leader. A process finds the ID of its session using the system call getsid(). A session leader is the process which has the state 's', example:

user1 46080  0.0  0.0 131264  3660 pts/1    Ss   feb05   0:01 -bash

Anyway I got it through ps command.

Thanks for your help.
