I'd like to write a little script and attach it to my one of my remote
control keys. However, I only want the commands to execute when
mythfrontend is NOT running. Can someone help me write the IF
statement that will check whether mythfrontend is running or not?
Thank you!
This will kill mythfrontend if it's running, or start it if it's not:
#!/bin/bash
PROG=mythfrontend
STATUS=`ps -e | grep $PROG | grep -v grep | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`
if [ $STATUS -eq 0 ]
then
( $PROG & )
else
killall $PROG
fi
exit 0
