Status of a Linux process
All,
I have fair amount of knowledge about shell scripting, but only liitle on system administration.
I would like to know how to analyze whether the particular linux process is alive or not ? If it is alive, will it affect the performace of other process ?.
Also is it still consuming resource? If so, how much resource its consuming?
Example,
aps 31649 13702 0 Feb17 ? 00:00:00 auto_remote
The above process is running since Feb17,2009. I would like to know whether this process is till doing any useful operation. Is it consuming any resouce, etc.,

NAME
pldd - display dynamic shared objects linked into a process
SYNOPSIS
pldd PID
pldd OPTION
DESCRIPTION
The pldd command displays a list of the dynamic shared objects that are linked into the process with the specified process ID. The list
includes the libraries that have been dynamically loaded using dlopen(3).
OPTIONS
-?, --help
Display program help message.
--usage
Display a short usage message.
-V, --version
Display the program version.
VERSIONS
pldd is available since glibc 2.15.
CONFORMING TO
The pldd command is not specified by POSIX.1. Some other systems have a similar command.
EXIT STATUS
On success, pldd exits with the status 0. If the specified process does not exist, the user does not have permission to access its dynamic
shared object list, or no command-line arguments are supplied, pldd exists with a status of 1. If given an invalid option, it exits with
the status 64.
EXAMPLE
$ echo $$ # Display PID of shell
1143
$ pldd $$ # Display DSOs linked into the shell
1143: /usr/bin/bash
linux-vdso.so.1
/lib64/libtinfo.so.5
/lib64/libdl.so.2
/lib64/libc.so.6
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2
/lib64/libnss_files.so.2
NOTES
The command
lsof -p PID
also shows output that includes the dynamic shared objects that are linked into a process.
