Answer / stratovarius

One way would checking the successful completion of a
command, check the exit status.
An exit status of zero indactes sucess,
An exit status or 1 or above indicates error.

example:
#cd /etc
#echo $?
0
#

This indicates the command change directory was a success.

#ps -ef | grep <process_name>
#pgrep -fl |grep <process_name>

Will show display details of the process/programs loaded..
such as the PID.
