Check if trigger Script is running

HI,

I have a script which will be running all the time...it is like a trigger.. wakesup every 10 minutes(trigger.sh) executes, and I want to write another script which monitors this script every one hour and if it finds that trigger script is not running it should start it and exit...and here is what i could think of doing..

try and grep the script name in the process to see if it is running like..
ps -ef | grep "trigger.sh"
but this is not working....I do not know why...
is theree any other way to try it out.

Thanks,

Bookmarks
