Just a note: you need to exclude your "ps" check from the list of processes returned since it will also match your script path.

I like to use the following trick, so as not to invoke an additional grep:

$ ps aux | grep [i]nit
root         1  0.0  0.0  23820  2024 ?        Ss   08:23   0:01 /sbin
+/init
