[Tipz] byebye grep -v grep

[David N. Blank-Edelman]

Howdy-
 Got this one from the O'Reilly Mason book.

We're all pretty used to using a variation of this idiom:

    ps -ef|grep something|grep -v grep

instead, try:

    ps -ef|grep '[s]omething'

for example:

    ps -ef|grep '[d]nb'

Cool, no?
