Having a process that spawns children of itself it can be hard to only find the parents … this command is pretty weird looking, but actually works. You can achieve the same much easier if you want to use ‘ps -ef | grep …’, but I wanted to stick with pgrep, so:

pgrep boe_crprocd.bin | egrep -v "$(pgrep boe_crprocd.bin -P "$(pgrep boe_crprocd.bin -d ",")" -d "|")"
