We've a process on AIX UNIX server which is executed by multiple uses during a day. I wish to create a log file for every time the process is executed. I wish to know how unique are PID(s) on AIX UNIX servers if I were to name the log files with <date> and <PID>?
E.g. If I create my output files having the details such as
With my limited understanding of UNIX and from what I've read on the forum https://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-expert-users/2896-obtaining-process-id-pid.html AIX system sequentially assigns a limited set of PIDs and re-utilizes them as and when processes get freed and slot is available for allocation by dispatcher.
Please suggest a suitable way to uniquely identify the process execution during the day. I am also considering adding datetime hh:mm:ss to the log name to uniquely identify the same E.g. change log file name to

I try to get the PID of the last process on the files called PID_FILES.
But the command stands by on the output screen. I have to tape on ENTER to get the prompt and continue .
How may I simulate this action ( tape on ENTER ).

1. If I use an software application(which connects to the database in the server) in my local pc, how many PID should be registered? Would there be PID for the session and another PID for socket connection?

Hi!
I'm facing a unique problem!
When I run a program on HPUX, it runs fine but it also produces a bunch of files of the format:
tr.<pid>.number
the contents of these files are a bunch of numbers and I know for a fact that these files are not created by the program I'm running.

Hi All,
I am getting the PID of a process using its name using the following command
in a script
mypid=`ps aux | awk '/test5/ && !/awk/ { print $2 }'`
echo PID is $mypid
The problem is the PID is not getting printed. But when i run the command directly in shell, the PID got printed.

Hi to everybody.
Is it possible to nohup a process and redirect the output to a file containing the PID?
E.g. if
nohup filename > out.nohup
associate the PID=8074 to filename, is it possible to call the output file something like out_8074.nohup instead of out.nohup? By this way it would... (0 Replies)

Hi all,
I am generating the coredump of my JBoss, and by default it puts it in to a particular directory. i.e. JBOSS_HOME/. I would like this output file to be created, lets say in /tmp/dump/.

GETPGID(P) POSIX Programmer's Manual GETPGID(P)
NAME
getpgid - get the process group ID for a process
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
pid_t getpgid(pid_t pid);
DESCRIPTION
The getpgid() function shall return the process group ID of the process whose process ID is equal to pid. If pid is equal to 0, getpgid()
shall return the process group ID of the calling process.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, getpgid() shall return a process group ID. Otherwise, it shall return (pid_t)-1 and set errno to indicate the
error.
ERRORS
The getpgid() function shall fail if:
EPERM The process whose process ID is equal to pid is not in the same session as the calling process, and the implementation does not
allow access to the process group ID of that process from the calling process.
ESRCH There is no process with a process ID equal to pid.
The getpgid() function may fail if:
EINVAL The value of the pid argument is invalid.
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
