Hi there

Thank you for the help on this one, This is the output you requested

Code:
$ pgrep -f "gcalctool"
9467
9486
13903
$ cd /proc
$ ls -ld 9467
dr-xr-xr-x 8 nathan nathan 0 2012-05-04 09:20 9467
$ ls -ld 9486
dr-xr-xr-x 8 nathan nathan 0 2012-05-04 09:20 9486

I also ran the script in ksh and got

Code:
$ ./calc2.sh
./calc2.sh[4]: pushd: not found [No such file or directory]
ls: cannot access 9467: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 9486: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 13903: No such file or directory
./calc2.sh: line 13: popd: not found

In the meantime I'll do some digging on those commands there new to me so sorry to appear lazy. Its not clicking just yet...

Smilie

AFAIK, pushd and popd are bash only.

--edit--

I found popd and pushed as functions in /usr/local/share/ksh/pushd, that could be sourced into a script. This is with version ksh93t+. Perhaps they are also available on your system.

Use cd /proc instead, then, and then cd back to wherever you started after.
