You don't need to grep. You can add your job label to the command and then test the exit status: $ launchctl list com.apple.coreservices.uiagent > /dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $? 0 $ launchctl list com.apple.dts.not.really.a.job > /dev/null 2>&1 ; echo $? 1 S+E -- Quinn "The Eskimo!" <http://www.apple.com/developer/> Apple Developer Relations, Developer Technical Support, Core OS/Hardware
