Hi there, I have a noob question, I dont find the bug: [CODE] 1: #!/bin/sh 2: if [ pgrep ktorrent &> /dev/null ] ; then 3: echo "ktorrent not running... Restarting..."; 4: ktorrent; 5: exit 0; 6: else 7: pgrep ktorrent; 8: echo "ktorrent allready running!"; 9: exit 0; 10: fi if [ pgrep pidgin &> /dev/null ] ; then echo "Pidgin not running... Restarting..."; pidgin; exit 0; 15: else pgrep pidgin; echo "Pidgin allready running!"; exit 0; 19: fi [/CODE] Brings me: [QUOTE] :~/$ sh torrentcron.sh torrentcron.sh: 10: ]: not found [: 10: missing ] 7309 ktorrent allready running! [/QUOTE] I need this for a cronjob... Thx

Why not try checking the exit code, $?, of the command. if ktorrent is running the value is 0. If not, the value is probably 1. #!/bin/sh pgrep ktorrent &> /dev/null if [ $? -eq 0 ] then echo "ktorrent allready running!" else echo "ktorrent not running... Restarting..." fi

Thank you so much, it works :D
