[Sheflug] Most Pathetic Request Of The Day

[Alec Melling <melling [at] xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I want to check to see if spamd is running on my system. To do it I understand 
that I need to run the following command(s)

ps -ef grep spamd or ps aux grep spamd

Both commands require a vertical line before 'grep'.

Told you this was pathetic... I am going mad trying to type the vertical line. 
I can see it on the keyboard, on a key that seems to have three functions " ` 
¬ " being two of them. How the hell do you get it to type the vertical line?

Pathetic - yes... But I have been good, I have gone on the net, found out what 
I need to do to speed up spamassassin and am ready to do it. But I am stumped 
by this **** key and I have feeling that I am going to have to use it again.
