Shell Programming and Scripting

hi all,

i would like to write the shell script to monitoring the processing, but if i passing the parameter the number of process is incorrect
how to slove it? many thx

got the correct number of process as following script:
===========================================================
#!/bin/sh

isRunning=`ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName.sh | wc -l`
if [ $isRunning -eq 1 ]
then
echo "running"
else
echo "not running"
fi
===========================================================


got the incorrect number of process if passing param
===========================================================
#!/bin/sh

isRunning=`ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep $1 | wc -l`
isRunning=`ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep "$1" | wc -l` <-- other way
if [ $isRunning -eq 1 ]
then
echo "running"
else
echo "not running"
fi
===========================================================

can you please post o/p of "ps -ef | grep your_shellscript" ???

sure~~

command: ps -ef | grep nonstop.pl
root 6565 5858 99 15:27 pts/7 00:00:33 perl nonstop.pl
root 6587 5900 0 15:28 pts/9 00:00:00 grep nonstop.pl

problem solved

isRunning=`ps -ef | grep -v $0 | grep -v grep | grep $1 | wc -l`

should be skip the monitoring script itself by "grep $0"
