[#!/bin/ksh

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

Hi, This is the answer to your query.

bash-3.00$ vi ProcessMonitoring.sh
#!/bin/ksh
puser=1
for name in `cat perf_listfile`
do
puser=`ps -ef | grep $name |grep root | awk ' {print $1}'`
#puser=`ps -ef | grep "jogi" |grep root | awk ' {print $1}'`
echo $puser
echo $pid
if [ $puser -eq root ]
then
echo "successful"
else
echo "This is an auto-generated mail for Process Monitoring Error. Process $name not running. From : Error Monitoring Process." | mailx -s "Process Monitoring Error : $name not running" centurygalactus@gmail.com
fi
done

hi,

the script that u had posted

#!/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


will always return a pid since grep is a process, ( u will not receive process not running message even though the actual process isnt running) need to trip off the process grep when checking for other process pids and what if the other user has the same process, u would end up with pids that are not under your control.

you can try this,
ps -ef | grep <user> | grep -v grep | grep <process string> | awk '{print $2}'
