SubjectRe: path_lookup for executable
Date
Thanks for response. Is there any other way to identify if "current"  is a 
certain program such as java. You cannot surely go by name (comm field of
task_struct). Since It could be linked. In another word, I want to identify
the executing current program. Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Eyub
