Heres what i'm trying to do.

$proc=3Dexec('ps aux | grep proc');

if ($proc !=3D "") {
echo "True";
}
if ($proc == "") {
echo "False";
}

but some time's it show's the ps aux so I dont get a true reading. =
Anybody have a way that I might be able to extract this out of there to =
get a true reading to find out if the process is running?

Try 'ps aux | grep proc | grep -v grep' to remove your grep process
from the list.

How about not posting this to the database related list?
