Hi Mike, depending on the shell you are using try to find the PPID (parents/caller process ID). The grep that PPID in the output of ps -ef. If the process of that PPID is mc... Its not /that/ straightforward, but... ;) Good luck! Best regards, Meino _______________________________________________ mc mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
