Actually the 'pidof' command is available in the FreeBSD ports tree - are 
there other mechanisms that FreeBSD is missing that arm uses ?

I installed both 'pidof' and Python 2.6 on FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE and 'arm' 
seems to work perfectly.  I have not noticed any functionality missing ... 
perhaps there is, though ?
