Scripts to start and stop

I haven't tried to reconstruct the code from the posts, but here is my
bet. Try quoting the string. And, if it's a bash shell script, you
shouldn't have the $ at the beginning of the variable name or it will
DEFINITELY be misinterpreted. Also, make the ps output wide and catch
nanny instead of perl.

nanny_pids="`ps -auxw | grep nanny | awk '{print $2}'`"

You could also pipe it through 'sed s/$^/ /g' - this will give you all
PIDs on one line, separated by spaces (like 'kill' wants them on its
command line).
