getting results after using ps command - Page 2

yale_work · #1 (**permalink**) 10-07-2008

That I had changed......but as currently I am not getting '-' from my ps command (that will come when there will be a erros and I will send mail in THEN condition....). I have pts/2 as TTY value....I get the following message:

pts/2: 0403-009 The specified number is not valid for this command.

use "==" instead of "-eq"

I am replacing -eq with == and it gives syntax error.....can you please suggest me in the following...
if [ `ps -efo tty,time,args|awk '/test/{print $1}'` -eq '-' -a `ps -efo tty,time,args|awk '/test/{print $2}'` -ne "0:00" ]

if [ "`ps -efo tty,time,args|awk '/test/{print $1}'`" == "-" -a "`ps -efo tty,time,args|awk '/test/{print $2}'`"  != "0:00" ]
