This isn't a Cygwin-specific question. As such, discussion of it is really off-topic for this list. That said, the following should work (untested on Cygwin or W95): #! /bin/bash ps -C sshd >& /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo sshd running else echo sshd not running fi It's wordy but you get the idea. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
