<P class=MsoNormal style="mso-layout-grid-align: none"><FONT

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">Thanks guys, that info
helped me a lot with my problem too. I've got just one more <SPAN
class=SpellE><SPAN class=GramE>pid</SPAN></SPAN> problem that I wondering if
someone could maybe shed some light on. Much like Josh's situation I have a
screened "stay alive" function. So when I kill the server's <SPAN
class=SpellE><SPAN class=GramE>pid</SPAN></SPAN>, the stay alive restarts it.
Now, I have a loader script that I use to launch this "stay alive" script in a
detached screen like so:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="mso-layout-grid-align: none"><FONT
face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">What I need is a way to
get the <SPAN class=SpellE><SPAN class=GramE>pid</SPAN></SPAN> of that screen,
because if I have a <SPAN class=SpellE>pid</SPAN> for it I can stop the stay
alive process too so the server doesn't automatically restart (giving me
start/stop/restart functionality!!). So I tried the same idea and added the
command to echo the <SPAN class=SpellE><SPAN class=GramE>pid</SPAN></SPAN>
into a file when the screen is started like:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'"> the <SPAN

trick to getting the <SPAN class=SpellE><SPAN class=GramE>pid</SPAN></SPAN> of
a screen? I could just cat <SPAN class=SpellE>stayalive.pid</SPAN>, add 1 to
it and then kill, but I would much rather be working with the actual <SPAN
