--- Comment #1 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I'd actually say that ps -o pid,ppid,comm would be better even on Linux, I
think it really wants to look for the process named sleep, rather than some
arbitrary command with sleep just as an argument or path component etc.
There is a risk that you kill some other command, that would say have arguments
/usr/bin/some_command sleep 12345
if $alarmpid is 12345.
