Originally posted by: rabbottIs there a good way to associate a node process ID (PID) with it's corresponding node?
Through testing I found that the node temp file (under node editor > Status > Output) contains the PID in the file name. For example, in the temp file:
temp.rittenhouse.lavastorm.com.19359.0.13288121670 00.brd
The "19359" corresponds to the PID of the node process. This was not exactly simple to find out. I then searched the BRS file for the temp file to get the node handle string and then searched the graph for the handle to find the corresponding node. Again this was not a simple task.
The reason behind this task is to try to figure out which nodes are leaving defunct processes on the server.
