I have written a script to determine if processes are running. I am using, as an example, ps -ax | grep -c postgrey Ocassionally, I am receiving a notification a process is not running (and it varies which process I receive notifications for). And, when checking, the process actually is running. Is there a better way to determine if a process is running than using ps and grep? Thanks, Jay
