grep for a process
Hi,
I want to grep within a script for a process.
The problem is I just no the name of the process not its location.
I tried the following:
ps -ef | grep demo
but than I get also processes which run from the directory demo or where I file like demo.c is open.
So I am searching for something to grep for a process where the last word is demo.
I tried to make a Regular Expression, but the following does not work:
ps -ef | grep -E "demo[$ ]"
Could you please help me?!
Thnx
Ben Sky

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
