Thanks for your reply. I'm still a little uncertain about performing any kind of operation on this returned value. I actually only want to determine if there is a processID, and if there is, kill it. (That part I have, using a | xargs kill.) If there isn't a process then just carry on doing whatever comes next in the script.
So I'm trying this:
if ( $processID > 0 ) then ...
but I get an error,
16305: not found
(where 16305 is the value of the variable).
What is it that's not being found?
Should I just make it simpler and compare $processID to null or ""?
Thanks.

KILL(1) BSD General Commands Manual KILL(1)
NAME
kill -- terminate or signal a process
SYNOPSIS
kill [-s signal_name] pid ...
kill -l [exit_status]
kill -signal_name pid ...
kill -signal_number pid ...
DESCRIPTION
The kill utility sends a signal to the process(es) specified by the pid operand(s).
Only the super-user may send signals to other users' processes.
The options are as follows:
-s signal_name
A symbolic signal name specifying the signal to be sent instead of the default TERM.
-l [exit_status]
Display the name of the signal corresponding to exit_status. exit_status may be the exit status of a command killed by a signal (see
the special sh(1) parameter '?') or a signal number.
If no operand is given, display the names of all the signals.
-signal_name
A symbolic signal name specifying the signal to be sent instead of the default TERM.
-signal_number
A non-negative decimal integer, specifying the signal to be sent instead of the default TERM.
The following pids have special meanings:
-1 If superuser, broadcast the signal to all processes; otherwise broadcast to all processes belonging to the user.
0 Broadcast the signal to all processes in the current process group belonging to the user.
Some of the more commonly used signals:
1 HUP (hang up)
2 INT (interrupt)
3 QUIT (quit)
6 ABRT (abort)
9 KILL (non-catchable, non-ignorable kill)
14 ALRM (alarm clock)
15 TERM (software termination signal)
kill is a built-in to csh(1); it allows job specifiers of the form ``%...'' as arguments so process id's are not as often used as kill argu-
ments. See csh(1) for details.
SEE ALSO
csh(1), pgrep(1), pkill(1), ps(1), kill(2), sigaction(2), signal(7)
STANDARDS
The kill function is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
HISTORY
A kill command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.

April 28, 1995 BSD
