$[juan at PowerBook: Pendulum](28/0,0)-> ps -ax | grep [F]inder
   412  ??  S      0:16.91 
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder 
-psn_0_786433
$[juan at PowerBook: Pendulum](29/0,0)-> echo $?
0
$[juan at PowerBook: Pendulum](30/0,0)-> ps -ax | grep [F]ooooo
$[juan at PowerBook: Pendulum](31/0,0)-> echo $?
1

	So I'd use:

ps -ax | grep [F]inder 2>&1 >/dev/null
if [ $(echo $?) == 0 ] ; then "proceed with your script ; fi

	Hope that helps! Regards,...
