Beginner Ruby question

Hi

I am trying to determine if a process is running or not using this code. What is the right way to do this? Here is my attempt

[1] pry(main)> if Process.getpgid(89707) !=1
[1] pry(main)* puts "it got killed"
[1] pry(main)* else
[1] pry(main)* puts "it did not get killed"
[1] pry(main)* end
Errno::ESRCH: No such process
from (pry):1:in `getpgid'

When you call - Process.getpgid - it returns the pcocess group id.

Your if statement shoud be

Code:
if Process.getpgid != 89707
...

Thank You. Almost obvious now that I see your answer

P.S - How do I mark this as answered?
