I would like to launch a Kindlet from shell. I have set up a script to run with crontabs. Now in that script I would like to check for my Kindlet and, if it is not running, launch it. I've been searching the web for a shell command to do so with no luck.

My script currently writes information about running processes (ps -aux and ps -efl) into a log file but there is nothing about my Kindlet whatsoever even when it's running. It does not seem to be registered as a process.

What is the correct command for launching a Kindlet from shell?
How can I see if it's running?

I would be very thankful for any hint.
