Re: process check

See if this works for ya...

Of course you'll have to change the START_CMD line to read however  
you have your command line options..


<---start--->
#!/bin/sh

START_CMD='/usr/local/bin/snort -c /snort/snort-2.4.2/rules/ 
snort.conf -D'

PROC=`ps aux | grep "snort -c" | grep -v grep`
        if [ -z "${PROC}" ]; then
                for i in 1; do
                        ${START_CMD} && exit
                done
        fi
<----end--->

There are probably better ways to do this, but it's first thing in  
the morning over here (PST)
