 You should not use the wildcards. You are grepping remember? Since you are 
not grepping for an regexp the "*"'s are probably interpreted literally. Never 
tried using wildcards when grepping for a regexp. They might be useful between 
two strings, but at the end and front does not make any sense.

 Maybe you should try a "ps waux | grep real". I bet the word "real" is just 
around the newline.

                                        Leonard.
