Argh...!!!!!!
I know I don't have a clue what I am doing, but why does this not
work?????
it just loops forever, shouldn't it exit at some point?
I've tried changing $nostrobe to 0, 1, 2 and 3.. I couldn't get it to
ever stop looping..

#!/bin/bash
# script to check to see if strobe is still running

while [ $nostrobe=2 ]
do
     nostrobe=`ps ax | grep -c "strobe"`
     echo $nostrobe
     echo sleeping
     sleep 5
done
