Sorry about that. I would have searched the tracker, but I didn't see it. I was thinking for a second there that you didn't have one. Sometimes I fail at using the Internet.
So I'm not an expert in shell or anything. I know there are a lot of gotchas. It seems like it should be possible, though. Is there something wrong with using pgrep or something?
