Hi All,
I want to run 5 `ps -ef | grep [process]` cmds in one script and i want the script to give me return code 0 if everything is OK. If it notices one of the processes is not there, it will prompt me the process name and advice me to check it.

I've wrote a script that separates the output but I want to combine it into one output.

echo "\n***------------------------------***"
echo "\nNo. 8"
echo "To check WAS-server1 process.."
varB=`ps -ef | grep server1`
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "OK, WAS-server1 process is up."
else
echo "==>NOT OK; WAS-server1 PROCESS IS DOWN, please check!!"
fi
sleep 3

echo "\n***------------------------------***"
echo "\nNo. 9"
echo "To check tws process.."
varC=`ps -ef | grep tws`
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo "OK, tws processes are up."
else
echo "==>NOT OK; tws PROCESS IS DOWN, please check!!"
fi
sleep 3

And the output is;
No. 8
To check WAS-server1 process..
OK, WAS-server1 process is up.

***------------------------------***

No. 9
To check tws process..
OK, tws processes are up.

I want the output to be like this;
(If all processes are up)
Checking all processes..
Return code : 0
All processes are up, OK.

(If one of the processes in not up)
Checking all processes..
WAS-server1 is UP, OK.
==> TWS is not UP, PLEASE CHECK!!


Please help, thank you.

Your first problem is that

ps -ef|grep whatever

ps -C $process > /dev/null
if[ $? -eq 0 ]
then 
  procs_up="$procs_up $process"
else
  procs_down="$procs_down $process"
fi

if [ ${#procs_down} -eq 0 ]
then
  echo All processes are up, OK.
else
  for p in $procs_up
  do
     echo "$p is up. OK"
  done
  for p in $procs_down
  do
     echo "$p is not up. please check"
  done
 fi

spirtle,

I tried with single process first;
root@axdevt01::/tmp/fara/script> cat grep2.sh
#process=df
process=server1
ps -ef | grep $process | grep -v grep > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
procs_up="$procs_up $process"
else
procs_down="$procs_down $process"
fi

if [ ${procs_down} -eq 0 ]
then
echo All processes are up, OK.
else
for p in $procs_up
do
echo "$p is up. OK"
done
for p in $procs_down
do
echo "$p is not up. please check"
done
fi

And this is the output;
root@axdevt01::/tmp/fara/script> grep2.sh
grep2.sh[12]: test: argument expected
server1 is up. OK

Then I tried df (not server1, df is not up), and this is the output;
root@axdevt01::/tmp/fara/script> grep2.sh
grep2.sh[12]: df: bad number
df is not up. please check


Any advise?
