First, you probably want to add some more arguments: I like "ps -auxwww | grep frisbee". What you had will only show frisbeed's running as you, not others. There are also the frisbeelauncher processes that run a set of frisbeed's.

Also, frisbeed only runs when there is actually a node reloading - after some amount of time (5 minutes, I think) without it getting any requests, it times and and exits. When you run os_load, a frisbeed starts up if none was already running.
