I've made a script to restart Gkrellm when it is not running--It "mostly" works, but when cron uses it a terminal window opens--I'm stuck & could use a bit of help---


#
!/bin/bash
#restart-process.sh

NOPROCESS=2

process=gkrellm

t=`pidof $process` # Find pid (process id) of $process.
# The pid is needed.

if [ -z "$t" ] # If process not present, 'pidof' returns null.
then
gkrellm & exit 0
fi

echo "Process $process was running."
exit $NOPROCESS

exit 0


Could someone point out where I've gone wrong?
