Question PID -> User (I need to know the user of a PID)
Hello,

There is a very high load on the mySQL in my server (Unix/Linux (WHM - RedHat 7.3)), in 'TOP' I knew the PID numbers that make the load on the memory... So how can I now the user of this PID?

It's very hard to get it from 'Apache Status' at WHM..

So please help Smilie !

What did you mean by user of the PID?
Coz top shows the owner of the process under the USERNAME field.
If you need to see the child processes if any,
# ps -ef | grep 'PID'

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I mean the owner of the PID, or which domain or login (username) doing this process.

I hope you know what I mean.

$ ps --fields="user pid tty command"

    USER    PID TT      COMMAND
userName  72966 tty10   ps.exe
userName 105867 tty10   ksh.exe

I'm not sure what you mean.. if you type ps --fields="user pid tty command" at your Unix prompt, then you should get output similar to what I put. You'll get a list of things running along with the user running them.. what else would you like to do with the output?
