Run this (pid= is all on one line, change path to MailScanner if not in 
/opt

#!/bin/sh
pid=`ps axww |egrep MailScanner'[:]|\['MailScanner'\]|[ ]'/opt/MailScanner/bin/MailScanner | awk '{ print $1 }'` ;  echo MailScanner running with pid $pid


if [ "x$pid" = "x" ]; then
   echo MailScanner not running
else
   if [ "x$1" != "x-q" ]; then
     echo MailScanner running with pid $pid
   fi
fi


thats all the check process does
what does it print out ?


and example here is:

root at valhalla:/opt/MailScanner/bin# ./test
MailScanner running with pid 13863 26862 27237 27411 27429 28249
root at valhalla:/opt/MailScanner/bin# /etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail stop
root at valhalla:/opt/MailScanner/bin# ./test
MailScanner not running
root at valhalla:/opt/MailScanner/bin#
