Since "pidof" doesn't do the grep, so you need to specify the entire process name (e.g. "pidof chron" gets nothing, "pidof chronyd" gets the PID of the chronyd process). In that sense, your "ps aux | grep | grep -v grep" is a more flexible in that you only need to know part of the process name. I use it a lot myself--but not to the point of turning it into a script/utility. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - A day for firm decisions!!!
