question concerning Grep flags
Hey all. I am trying to find a process that is running and appending it to a file. The comman I am using is

ps -eaf |grep tctl.

The problem is, it returns the tctl process as well as the grep process that I just ran. Is there a flag that will prevent the command from returning itself?

Thanks for all the help.

You can also use "ps -eaf | grep [t]ctl"
