I want to test if a process is running on our Mac OS X Server: Frontier. If it's running, great.
If it's not running, I want to start it. Am I correct that this should work? ps aux | grep [F]rontier || /Applications/Frontier/Qaliva\ Frontier.app/Contents/MacOS/Qaliva\ Frontier & Why [F]rontier? It's a trick to make sure that the grep doesn't show up a false positive. Does anyone see any reason why this should not work? 'cause it appears not to be working like it should, and that makes me sad. Thanks! Scott -- R.
