Hello

I'm in trouble with a simple shell script that give
erroneous value when running ...

If I run commands interactively everything runs well

> ps ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | wc -l
      1

If I run in the following shell script :

#!/bin/sh
SD=0
SD=`ps -ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | wc -l`
echo $SD

the result is 3 !!!


Any info welcome !

hello.

i would rather use pgrep(1);
pgrep -afl slapd

for just counting purpose,
pgrep -a slapd | wc -l
is enough. it should work as expected in `` output.
