executing script not showing up in ps -efx
Hi everyone, here's my problem. I have a script that runs in a infinite loop, repeating the same action in another script every 10 minutes. We need to monitor whether or not this loop script is running and be able to kill it should the need arise. However, the name of the script does not show up in the ps -efx listing, even though it is clearly running in the other window. Is there a way to make the script show itself in the ps -efx output, or get it's process ID?
Thanks!

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
