If I want to know if a process is currently running such as user1 1729 1 0 14:58:13 ? 0:00 start
What command do I use to look for it? I know I could do a Unix ps and grep for the process name and then awk it down but it seems that there has got to be a way in Perl to do this. I been through the Camel and Ram books and I can find all sorts of stuff about creating processes but I guess I am just missing the part about testing to see if a process is running.
