[osol-discuss] help with opensolaris pgrep

2010-01-31 Thread Thomas Burgess
I am currious...is there a reason why pgrep wouldn't work as i'd expect on opensolars? I come from FreeBSD and i usually use pgrep to check if a process is running for a script. For instance, i have a script which i use to check if rsync is running, if it isn't running, then it will rsync, if
