Hey Gilbert

I played with grep and ps looking for a way to monitor services
for a little script I wrote to monitor cups
and I found another way of going at this


I tried to compile PSG but it failed but I liked the simple idea of it

so I found an alias instead that simulates it

Hmm just thought of another approach to tracking and killing multiple spawned processes

Hey now here a kludge...rearranging only worked until there were spaces in the name.....I can tidy this up but would use the same method. I suspect the difference is to do with how multiple lines are handled in the terminal as apposed to a script

This sounds just like the script problem amigo and I were struggling with...

Bash interprets the arguments instead of passing them as literals.
There seems to be no way around this except to do it differently...
