Sorry I should have been more verbose. I meant using this in addition to the test for the application, not instead of. So: Replace ps -eo cmd | grep -q ^$process with ps -f "$user" -o cmd | grep -q "^$process" (Adding some quotes just in case these variables end up with spaces in them) Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
