Dear all,
I wrote a very simple shell script which use ps and grep command to
check if a process (a running job) is still exist. If yes, do nothing.
If not, start that process.
If I execute the script in command line, everything went as what I
expected. But if it is executed from crontab, the process didn't start
as what I expected.
Anyone has suggestions?
Thanks.
Feng
