[syslog-ng] Mysql.pipe connection check by script!

Dear ALL, I am writing a script to check the existence of the “MySQL –u root –password=password syslog < /tmp/mysql.pipe &”. I have tried to grep the string as the following command, #> ps aux | grep “mysql –u root” | grep “syslog” When I try to run this command, the PS cannot not show the command but “-bash”. How could I use “ps” command to show the full detail of this “-bash”. Thanks.
