Hi Dave,
the command would be:
ps -A | grep jackd
If the output is null, there's no jackd process running. Else, there is
some information-output about a jackd process
24131 ? 00:00:00 jackd
Assign the command to a variable and use an if-statement with something
like...
if $myvariable="" ...
that should do the job....
