Nope, this one also doesn't work.  So far all the ps options I tried,
fail to show the process I am trying to find.

Example: 

Let's say the script is called run.sh
I then open a ssh session (using putty), and run ./run.sh

I open another ssh session, and so a "ps -ef | grep run"
... but it doesn't find anything
