Re^3: Capture Console Results?

That didn't work. The console, if the window is a certain size, will wrap the lines but it actually appears to cutoff part of the line (even with the ww added). Can I force resize a window, tell the system to pretend my console is a certain size and not wrap the lines, or is there any other way to disregard the size of the window in the script and get the whole output dumped to memory somewhere?

Wondering if I'm making this harder than it has to be. Would like to keep from using launchd, not all the mac platform use launchd for services.
Current code below

        open(PS_F, "ps - auwwx | grep perl |") || die "Can't open cons
+ole\n";
        my @data = <PS_F>;
        close(PS_F);

        my $res_data = join(" ",@data);
        print "Res data is $res_data\n---\n";
        my $comm = $res_data;
        $comm =~ s/\n//g;
        $comm =~ s/\r//g;

        if($comm =~ m/getDataLive.pl/i) {

I notice you still have the space between the dash (`-`) and the "`auwwx`". My test code refuses to find "inder" when I leave the space between the dash and the auwwx (and I know for CERTAIN that I'm currently running the Finder), but seems to find it just fine with a standard width (80 chars) window, again when I've shrank my window to 35 chars wide, all the while the output of the command in Terminal is clearly beyond that width: `My-Computer()$ ps -auwwx \| grep inder chargrill 255 0.0 2.2 228420 23320 ??
