Fine, so where can I find it? If I run radio straight from the command
prompt ps and ps aux will list a pid for radio. If I run radio via cron/at
there is no pid when I do ps or ps aux. In fact, there is no pid for
anything at the time cron/at executes radio. You'd expect at least
something, either a pid for radio or a pid for at. That's what I found
strange, hence my question.
Cheerio,
