[vdr] Re: Feature Request: SVDRP command "DONTSLEEP"

does'nt this give always true, as the the grep returns the line of this 
commandline itself?

usually a

ps -A | grep "^whatever"

should be better (whatever then needs to be at the beginning of the 
commandline)

or 

ps -A | grep "whatever" | grep -v "^grep"

filters out the unwanted line containing grep... jm2c
