Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello all,
I would be happy if any one could help me with a shell script that would determine all the processes running on a Unix server and post a mail if any of the process is not running or aborted.

Thanks in advance

hi guys,
i'm back with a small problem.
i have now written a script that will grep for a process and will notify me if not running.
[#!/bin/ksh
pid=""
pid='ps -ef | grep "<process string>" | awk ' {print $2}''
echo $pid
if [ "$pid"="" ]
then
echo "process not running"
rsh <mail server> mailx -s "<etc etc process not running>" <mail.id>
else
echo service is ok
pid=""
fi
]
now i'm have a problem in the mailing section.
can any one tell me how i can redirect the output to a file and send it via mail if the process i'm greping is not runnning. i tried the above syntax and failed.

And one more help how can i find the parent process that aare running so that i can make a list of those important process.

kindly some one look into this and reply at earliest.

Instead of
rsh <mail server> mailx -s "<etc etc process not running>" <mail.id>
try
mailx -s "<etc etc process not running>" yourID@yourdomain.xxx < /dev/null

Change yourID and yourdomain.xxx to your userid and domain name.

hi RTM,

To know the parent process use:

ptree [PID]

/usr/bin/ptree [ -a ] [ [ pid | user ] ... ]

ptree Print the process trees containing the specified pids
or users, with child processes indented from their
respective parent processes. An argument of all digits
is taken to be a process-id, otherwise it is assumed
to be a user login name. Default is all processes.

Pradeep,

This new problem is not in any way related to your 'process' post.
