I am trying to figure out how to find out if a program is already
running before starting it up. I start a number of programs from my
.sawfishrc and on a restart of sawfish I don't want to start them up
again.
Is there someway to tell if the new start is the result of a restart or
not?
Is there a way to get the results back from something like a call to:
ps -A|grep -i <process name>
Or a way to see the system processes as opposed to only the ones
controlled by sawfish.
I have been reading the process section of info, but have not completely
got my head around how to put this to practical use.
Thanks for any help.
