Here the million and first way (it really depends on your version of ps or Unix) On Linux and Solaris we have pgrep Code:
pid=$(pgrep name_of_cmd) Code:
pid=$(UNIX95= ps -C name_of_cmd -o pid=) Testing if pid holds valid content is also heavily dependent on the used shell. In a posix shell we could do (if we were process owner or root, or omit the kill) Code:
[[ -n $pid ]] && kill -0 $pid && echo "is alive"
