Comment:

 mikos on IRC reports this may not be working;

 os> n8fr8: About that bug - I have looked at TorServiceUtils.java, method
 findProcessIdWithPidOf, and it _can't_ work in my opinion. It is starting
 "procPs = r.exec(SHELL_CMD_PIDOF);", but you must tell program name to
 pidof.
 <n8fr8> but it does work sometimes, right?
 <mikos> n8fr8: It should IMHO be something like "procPs =
 r.exec(SHELL_CMD_PIDOF + ' ' + command);". But maybe I am wrong, I am not
 Java programmer (only Pythoneer)...

 <-- gouki has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
 <n8fr8> okay i will reopen the ticket and look at it myself shortly.
 working on an orbot update for release soon and can send you a build as
 well.
 <mikos> n8fr8: No, it doesn't for me... it tries also findProcessIdWithPS,
 but this will fail too, because PID is in first column in ps output but it
 expects second column
  n8fr8: Maybe some other Android builds have ps with another output
 format?
 --> gouki (~gouki at 1RDAABISM.tor-irc.dnsbl.oftc.net) has joined #tor
 <mikos> n8fr8: But anyway findProcessIdWithPidOf IMHO really could't work
 (and never did, if it was always same)
