Well, I tried this: On 10.4.11, I run launchctl list | grep -c foo It returns "0" eventually, but it can take a long time to do so, sometimes up to a minute. This is not deterministic; sometimes it returns immediately. A simple "launchctl list" returns immediately every time, as does the command I proposed, (echo ""; launchctl list) | grep -c foo Weird. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
