Advice: don't try to 'out-think' the machine -- make it _show_ you what it is doing. Change the script to: SD=`ps -ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | tee /dev/tty | wc -l` echo $SD I suspect thet the -name- of the script file has 'slapd' in it. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
