Don't forget the "... | grep -v grep" to avoid finding your grep command ...
but unless the program "makes a mark somewhere" (creates a lock file, for
example), I don't know of any other _generic_ way.
BTW, you can use ps -e for a shorter output if that helps any.

Subject: [aix-l] check program if running
Other than using pf -ef | grep pgm_name
is there another way to find out if a program
is running (in background or foreground) so I
would not bring up another copy of the same program?
TIA
