As work interests have changed my forum choices have changed, more to unix, specifically SCO, and I'm heavily involved with the forums following the slow destruction of tSCOg as they implode from their ill-conceived lawsuits attempting to squeeze money out of the Linux community.

BTW, the heading for SCO still implies the name of the Santa Cruz Operation, parts of which (the unix parts) were purchased by Caldera, then renamed The SCO Group. TSCOG is still in operation, but in chapter 11, and probably is going to be forced into chapter 7 and liquidation.

Here's a fun one... What's the best way to script looking for a process when it runs? For example, what if a process is running that's been set up graphically, which you would like the entire command line string for? Say it's rpm for the sake of having a command to use as an example. You want...

chsh

CHSH(1) 							   User Commands							   CHSH(1)

NAME

       chsh - change your login shell

SYNOPSIS

       chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-u] [-v] [username]

DESCRIPTION

       chsh is used to change your login shell.  If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one.

       chsh is used to change local entries only. Use ypchsh, lchsh or any other implementation for non-local entries.

OPTIONS

       -s, --shell shell
	      Specify your login shell.

       -l, --list-shells
	      Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.

       -u, --help
	      Print a usage message and exit.

       -v, --version
	      Print version information and exit.

VALID SHELLS

       chsh  will  accept  the full pathname of any executable file on the system.  However, it will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in
       the /etc/shells file.  On the other hand, it can also be configured such that it will only accept shells listed in this	file,  unless  you
       are root.

EXIT STATUS

       Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command syntax was not valid.

SEE ALSO

       login(1), passwd(5), shells(5)
