[OS X TeX] OT: log from Acrobat 7.0

[Sergei Mariev]

The performance of the system has increased significantly! However,  
every time I start Acrobat, I have to evoke top, get the process  
number and then type sudo syslog -c foo -c, where foo is the process  
number. Could someone help me to write a short shell script to do it?  
it should search for the process by name and return the number of the  
process Acrobat and then execute the above line with the process  
number. Thanks a lot!
