Hi,

I want to use the following ps coomand:
ps -ef | grep test

Result of this command is:
Test 161220 1 0 Oct 04 - 1:11 /test/test

Just mentioning the description of each value in the result:
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
Test 161220 1 0 Oct 04 - 1:11 /test/test

NOW the requirement is to check the 'TTY' value and 'TIME' value. I have to do certain operations if TTY = '-' and TIME !=0:00 ..........Please help me how to do that?

Thanks.

try this

Thanks Vidyadhar,

It is giving error, saying no match for if.....I tried by putting fi...did not work....also it is not any file in which I will have TIME and TTY..........Actually in my shell script I will execute "ps -ef | grep test" command first and then in the second line I want to do that operation on the result set of "ps -ef | grep test" command.

I think we should check 6th (TTY) and 7th (TIME) column values. Please suggest.

ya i know its not file.. thats why i selected the required fields from ps -ef by using -o option it will give only TTY ,TIME and ARGS field.
did you tried if ;then;fi?? if its not working take TTY and TIME in some variables and then compare it in inside if loop..
regards,
vidyadhar

I tried something like that.....
ps -ef | grep test
if [ `ps -efo tty,time,args|awk '/test/{print $1}'` -eq '-' -a `ps -efo tty,time,args|awk '/test/{print $2}'` -ne "0:00" ] then
1
fi

error message was:
0403-057 Syntax error: `fi' is not expected.

are you aearching for olapisrv?? then inplace of test write olapisrv and after if you need ';'

Thaks I will try again.
