Smile How can i get the parent process only?

Hello,

I'm running one script every night and that's kick off through cron jobs.

Inside the script i'm checking whether my script is already running or not.

I'm using following command to check whether is running or not.

ps -eaf | grep "test_PID.ksh" | grep -v "grep test_PID.ksh" | wc -l

sometime it gives me 2 process or 3 process

Output:
user 15243 15203 0 12:00:01 ? 0:00 /usr/bin/ksh /usr/local/my/bin/test_PID.ksh

user 15203 254 0 12:00:01 ? 0:00 sh -c /usr/local/my/bin/test_PID.ksh

Why am i seeing two process for one job.

How can i get only parent process not child process.

Thank you for your helps in adv.
