ksh script to check if certain process is running

$

0
I have to kill the process "test" for a maintenance I do but want the script to check when it comes back up.

I can get what I want when I run this while loop:
while true;do ps -ef | grep test | grep -v grep | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//';sleep 60;done

but I want the script to do it for me and as soon as the process is found I would like for it to exit. Please advise.

Nevermind I was able to figure it out.

Code:

TESTSTATUS=`ps -ef | grep test | grep -v grep | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//'`

echo
echo
echo "\033[1;37 \033[1mAs soon as Test processes comes back up it will appear below:\033[0m\n"

until [[ -n $TESTSTATUS ]];do ps -ef | grep test | grep -v grep | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//';done
