Thanks allot this realy helped, you have no idea.

FINAL SCRIPT if you are interested

#!/bin/sh
# Simple example to read in a line, then echo it out
# If you're using Linux, you'll need to use "echo -e"
# instead of "echo"--> UNIX.

echo "Please Enter The Program Name: \c"

# The \c tells echo not to add a new line

read PROG

# That's where it takes your input and stores it into the
# variable "PROG" - you can name this whatever you want

echo "\nThe \$PROG variable was: $PROG"

# The "\n" forces echo to insert a new line at that spot
#Checking processes
ps -ef |grep "$PROG" > f1
cat f1 |cut -c 1-8 > a.1
cat f1 |cut -c10-14 > b.1
paste a.1 b.1 > B
cat f1 |cut -c49-72 > c.1
paste B c.1 > final
echo "STARTING TO CHECK"
echo "3"
sleep 1
echo "2"
sleep 1
echo "1"
cat final |more
rm f1
rm a.1
rm b.1
rm c.1
rm B
rm final

Thanks.
Marcus.

echo

ECHO(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   ECHO(1)

NAME

     echo -- write arguments to the standard output

SYNOPSIS

     echo [-n] [string ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The echo utility writes any specified operands, separated by single blank (' ') characters and followed by a newline ('
') character, to the
     standard output.

     The following option is available:

     -n    Do not print the trailing newline character.  This may also be achieved by appending 'c' to the end of the string, as is done by iBCS2
	   compatible systems.	Note that this option as well as the effect of 'c' are implementation-defined in IEEE Std 1003.1-2001
	   (``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002.  Applications aiming for maximum portability are strongly encouraged to use printf(1) to sup-
	   press the newline character.

     Some shells may provide a builtin echo command which is similar or identical to this utility.  Most notably, the builtin echo in sh(1) does
     not accept the -n option.	Consult the builtin(1) manual page.

EXIT STATUS

     The echo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     builtin(1), csh(1), printf(1), sh(1)

STANDARDS

     The echo utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'') as amended by Cor. 1-2002.
