Thank-you Patrick.
I studied the man page for pidof. As I understand it, it implies that
pidof does not work across login names; user2 cannot see user1's processes:
You misread what the man page says.

[from the description of option "-c"]
This option is ignored for non-root users, as they will be unable to
check the current root directory of processes they do not own.
Irrelevant. Your use case does not require the '-c' flag. Neither does
my example.
So this will not work.
Yes it will.
Also, could you please configure your mail client to do proper reply
quoting with attribution? See virtually every other message reply on
this list for examples.
