Hello



I'm in trouble with a simple shell script that give

erroneous value when running ...



If I run commands interactively everything runs well



 > ps ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | wc -l

       1



If I run in the following shell script :



#!/bin/sh

SD=0

SD=`ps -ax | grep slapd | grep -v grep | wc -l`

echo $SD



the result is 3 !!!





Any info welcome !
