Thanks, You are right it is $! but my question that this throws up, is, if when running x scripts the $! could return at some time the pid of a wrong command. What I mean: Imagine having two scripts (I know ls and df don't run long enough, it is just used as an example): 1.) ls pid1s=$! kill $pid1s
2.) df piddf=$! kill $piddf Now could it ever happen, if there would run really many of these scripts, that you could end up with something like this: df pidls=$! ?? (Now I am using "pkill -f" for my scipt) Pir --- Alles Kaufen und Verkaufen! eBay.at - der eigene Marktplatz für Österreich. http://www.austronaut.at/ebay.php -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
