Or ps -aux? Can you run a shell script? Then you could pipe the stuff through grep and get back only the process you're looking for or nothing if not there. Still pretty skanky but it is sort of OS specific runtime stuff.

Adding -u would add some additional info, but I don't need any of that. -w puts the output into "wide" mode: i.e. 132 characters instead of 80. That's still not enough though for the length of the command. -ww puts the output into superwide mode; i.e. as long as the process name is with no limits.

It's easier to parse the output if you add the '-o' flag to restrict the fields to what you're interested in:
% ps -axww -o command


It looks to me like "processes without controlling terminals" would be sufficient given what you're looking for:
% px -xww -o command


Try this while you have the character palette showing:
  % ps -xww -o pid,command | fgrep CharPaletteServer

Also see `man 1 ps` for a list of all the KEYWORDS that can be used after '-o'
