You know, I actually started out with something similar. But it has
limitations.

Let's say you want to launch two sets of (proga, progb, progc). Then the ps
+ grep logic will grep for proga, progb from both the sets. That is why I
shifted to writing a file at the end.

In any case, thanks for the reply.
