Because you are calling pidof before the process starts- bash does not do lazy evaluation of your expressions.

If you want to store the PID of the newly started process, you will have to make another PID=... call to get it in the else block where you access it.

Ohh, you are absolutely right. It is working now. I must get this damn Common Lisp out of my head before writing shell scripts next time. I will file a bug report on cups too. Thanks, Michael Krauss
