Code:
FIND=`ps -elf | grep "usr_script" | grep -v grep`
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
	echo "process found"
	echo $FIND
	FINDPROC=`awk {print $4}`  # it reads forth column to find process id
	kill -9 $FINDPROC  # kills process id of the usr_scirpts procsses
else
	echo "process no found"
	#start your scirpt here
fi

This didn't work for me, can anyone see what needs to be changed? Here's my output:

process found
0 S userName 21426 1 0 40 20 ? 14409 ? 15:12:34 pts/2 0:06 rmiregistry 1199
awk: syntax error near line 1
awk: illegal statement near line 1



Thanks!!

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
