This might depend on the shell used, but I think ">" should be "-gt". Here's another option in case you have java programs running that aren't Tomcat: #this is all one line COWBELL=`ps ax --width=1000 | grep \ "[o]rg.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap \ start" | awk '{printf $1 " "}' | wc | awk '{print $2}'` #end of one line if [ $COWBELL -gt 0 ]; then echo "Woohoo - Tomcat is there"; fi Cheers, Oscar --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
