Seems like your ps -f differs from mine,

borderline:~$ ps -f
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
artur    16387 16386  0 10:13 pts/4    00:00:00 -bash

meaning this regex is

  if (/^\S+\s+$$\s.+\sfoobar$/) {

is not correct, perhaps we want to test

/^(\S+\s+$$|$$)\s.+foobar$/ ?

what linux distro are you using?
