I have one script (sleeploop.sh) running in background and second (check.sh)
to test if sleeploop is running and if not then start it. 

################################
[/opt/bin]$ cat sleeploop.sh
#!/bin/sh
while true
do
        sleep 5
done
################################
[/opt/bin]$ cat check.sh
#!/bin/sh

_ret=$(ps aux | grep sleeploop.sh | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')
test -z ${_ret} && /opt/bin/sleeploop.sh &
################################

When i start check.sh from the shell it works fine; if there is no pid check.sh 
starts sleeploop.sh, otherwise it gets the pid and exiting.
If i put check.sh in cron it spawns another sleeploop.sh process every time
when triggered.
