Hi guys Just in case someone reads this again ... cap is running
sh -c 'pkill -f fred' which means the shell will be killed because it matches fred, so it always returns false. See, for example: $ pgrep -f nunu $ sh -c 'pgrep -f nunu' 16431 Which finds the sh with those args sh -c 'exec $(pkill nunu || true)' Will do what you want because the shell is replaced by the exec command. Not sure if this is an issue for cap 3.
