Excellent. That seems to work just fine. Although I had to change the
2 to 1, since the pid is the first column returned.
I'm running 10.4.10. What's different on yours?

Chris,
Try this:
ps -awx | awk '{print $2}'
if that prints you a list of pid's you should be good to replace
the cut
pipe with the awk command. By the way, what version of os X are you
running..mine doesn't seem to behave as you describe.

Okay, I think I figured out the problem.
The pid as returned from ps has a different number of leading spaces
depending on the number of digits in the pid. So using a set value
for the -f option doesn't seem to work. For example, if the pid has
four digits, using 2 works since the pid has 2 leading spaces. But if
it has 3 digits, you have to use 3 to get the pid returned correctly
since it has 3 leading spaces. Am I making sense? It's kind of
confusing to me. Anyway, can you think of a way around this? Is there
some other command that would work instead of cut, or some other form
of cut maybe?
Thanks again.
