A quick note. If you are grepping the output of a ps command, enclose the first character of your regexp in square brackets. For example: ps aux | grep [l]pr This still lists all the processes that contain the string "lpr", but it will not match the grep process itself anymore. -Roberto Sanchez ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
