Would one of the TDE dev’s be so kind as to point me in the right direction on how to do that (the uninstall process runs as sudo)?

if [ ! -z "$(pidof twin)" ]; then echo "TDE RUNNING"; fi

Thank you Nik!,

Is there any difference to using?:

if [ "$(pidof twin)" ]; then echo "TDE RUNNING"; fi

It seems to work the same, but I ask ‘cause there a tons of hidden ‘gotchas’ that aren’t ever really documented.

Best, Michael
