req: Bash Script check if process command is running if not run it >>

I am looking for a bash script to look for a command if is running in the process tree, if not to run it.
I found lot of scripts over the net but all of them are for service/deamon, which is not working for me.
This is the command that I am running in a background:
ssh -f -N -L 8885:127.0.0.1:8887 some@host -p 22

for example in process tree:
user 7611 0.0 0.0 5048 628 ? S<s 12:18 0:00 ssh -f -N -L 8885:127.0.0.1:8887 some@host -p 22

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks.

With 'pgrep' you can match whatever part of the process string you want (no need for ugly "ps|grep" kludges):

Code:

pgrep -f ':127.0.0.1:8887 some@host'

or the be precise:

Code:

pgrep -f 'ssh -f -N -L 8885:127.0.0.1:8887 some@host -p 22' >/dev/null 2>&1 ||\

 { [ -z $SSH_AGENT_PID ] || autossh -M 30000 -L8885:127.0.0.1:8887  -f -N host; }
