Yes hence raise it as an issue to get it fixed :P

The issue is finding the PID though isnt it. When changing map the PID
is changing so u may hit the moment when you cant determine the PID.
It all becomes more difficult when your running more than one server
on the machine where your then into scanning run line / process open
ports. All in all unreliable as I stated.

Hehe lets not get into a Linux vs Win32 argument.
