Sorry: i should have offered a solution to the grep -v grep thing
instead of just pointing out the problem.  One way to avoid grep
matching itself when scanning the process table is to use a
non-self-matching regex.

So for example, instead of doing:

  ps -ef | grep -q 'sshd'

You could do:

  ps -ef | grep -q '[s]shd'

which means the same thing from a regex perspective, but does not
self-match:

[0 dkg at squeak ~]$ echo 'grep -q sshd' | grep 'sshd'
grep -q sshd
[0 dkg at squeak ~]$ echo 'grep -q [s]shd' | grep '[s]shd'
[1 dkg at squeak ~]$ 

Most non-literals like $ (meaning end of line) are sufficient for this
also, since

  grep -q sshd$

does not self-match:

[0 dkg at squeak ~]$ echo 'grep -q sshd$' | grep -q sshd$
[1 dkg at squeak ~]$ 

hth,

        --dkg
