#!/bin/sh
var=`ps ux | grep interchange | grep -v -c grep`
if [ $var -eq 0 ]; then
         /command/to/start/interchange
fi

Is this what you want? :


	#!/bin/sh
	var=`ps ux | grep interchange | grep -v -c grep`
	if [ $var -eq 0 ]; then
		 date
	         /command/to/start/interchange
	fi

----EOF---

The added date command will print a time-stamp to STDOUT that will be
grabbed by cron...you could even be really tricky and add: 

echo "Starting Interchange At: "
date
echo "\n"
