Basically there are two funtion that I am using, this function will check for the current process.


checkProcess ()
{
PROCESS=$1
PROC_NOT_RUN=`$PS -ef | $GREP -i "$PROCESS" | $GREP -v "grep" | $WC -l` #determine how many times are the process is running
echo "Process Not Run $PROC_NOT_RUN"
return $PROC_NOT_RUN
}

This is my main funtion, I still not able to find out what was wrong, I have a feeling that when using grep and awk in one line it might cause the problem


$CAT $CONF_DEAMON | $AWK '{print $1}' | $GREP -v "^\#" | \
while read SERVICES
do
SERVICES_PATH=`$CAT $CONF_DEAMON | $GREP -v "^#[[:space:]]" | $GREP "^$SERVICES" | $AWK '{print $2}'`

# 1. Check for the process
checkProcess $SERVICES

if [ $? -eq $SUCCESS ]
then
echo $?
#addErrMSG "$SERVICES is currently not running please review the process under the path of $SERVICES_PATH"
#Send_Email

fi
done


Thanks for your help
