That was just a thought, but in actuality, `nohup` processes are owned by init (PID=1). Is it possible that it's a zombie? Try
Code:
ps -eaf | grep defunct

Also, what kind of UNIX / Linux are you on?

Give a try to this:
ps -ef | grep <script>

Don't remember but there is a catch with the -a flag.

that gives nothing
I am on Linux

maybe I'll just have to wait for the job to finish running, might be done before I go home today Smilie

One thing you might do when you change your script is to create the file with the PID appended to the filename.
