Well, it was just a guess. :) I tested against my 'named' daemon, using the code you supplied and it works fine. What version of FreeBSD? Are you using the 'stock' shell? Did you look at the output from grep to see what you get? How about splitting the test onto more than one line so that you can echo and then test the status code. ps -aux | grep -i "^root.*master" STATUS=$? echo "got $STATUS" if [ $STATUS = 0 ] ; then That might tell you something if you get a status 2. If you'd like, send me your exact script, and crontab entry; I'll test it here. Paul -- Paul A.
