 I'm experimenting with Stem.
 The example code uses stem.util.system.get_pid_by_port(port)
 to find a running process, in order to stop it.

 On my Fedora 19 system, this call doesn't work, it returns "None".

 The command
    netstat -npltu | grep 127.0.0.1:

 doesn't return the name of the process :(

 tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:9160          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

 The lsof command doesn't work either. Looks like Fedora doesn't allow user
 querying of the tor process, despite me owning the process.
