See this script by the name "strangename": |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
#! /bin/sh |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
ps ax | grep strangename |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |

If run in a terminal under X it will output something like:# |
| 15 |
20516 pts/3 R+ 0:00 grep strangename |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Please note the "pts". |

Run from a virtual text terminal, that will be something like "tty4". |

Instead of actually displaying the output, you can analyse it within your |
| 22 |
script. |
