Hi All,

I am new to Unix...

Can you please let me know how we can check if a script is running or not on Solaris box?

Use ps - report process status
Code:
ps -eaf | grep script | grep -v grep

I have ran the above command....
No output is coming...Is that means the particular script is not running?

If you have ran this command by replacing script with your script name, then yes your script is not running.
Code:
ps -eaf | grep script | grep -v grep
