Hi,
I've used zsh for quite a while, and I'm starting to get in to some
heavier scripting and customizations.
What I'm trying to do is this:
I use pine to check email when I'm not at my home computer. I often
suspend it, and then forget that its suspended and start anohter one -
pine has an annoying locking feature that causes both copies of pine to go
in to read-only mode, and lock up for a good 20 seconds. What I want is a
script or function that does this:
if [[pine is already running]]; then
fg %?pine
else
pine $*
fi
its the "is pine already running" part I can't figure out.
Thanks for any help...
Scott
