Added --no-header option below.
I want to monitor the existance of a process. All I ever know is the name of
the process. I came up with the following:
$ ps -C process_cmd_name --no-header > temp
$ ls -l temp
if temp size is 0 then process does not exist else it does exist
I was going to use the getsize function in the os.path module in Python for
the ls function above.
Anybody think of another way to accomplish this?
Thanks
