Unix Script to find and kill a process with high memory utilization
Hi Unix Gurus i am somewhat new to unix scripting so need your help to
create a script as below.
# This script would find the process consuming memory beyond a certain #limit. if the meemory consumption is more than 100% for a period of 1
# minute for the specific process. the script would kill the process
top -n 1 -u user | grep ABC | awk '{print $1" "$10}' > pid_mem
#Example pid_mem where $1 is process id and $10 is %memory consumed
# file contains the pid and memory % as below example
12258 21.6
12298 51.5
19207 107.5
#read the text for file and determine the pid for process with %mem > 100
# example pid = 19207
#if exist # then iterate for sometime for the same process id to determine if the memory spike comes down for example
count=0
while (count <=5) {
top -n 1 -u user | grep $pid
if ($10 > 100)
sleep 10
if (count =5)
then if ($10 >100)
kill -9 $pid
echo "Memory is more than 100 so process killed" | mailx -r %date -s 'memory > 90%'
abc@z.com
endif
endif
count =count + 1
endif
}

LEARN ABOUT FREEBSD
atf-sh
ATF-SH(1) BSD General Commands Manual ATF-SH(1)
NAME
atf-sh [-s shell] -- interpreter for shell-based test programs
SYNOPSIS
atf-sh script
DESCRIPTION
atf-sh is an interpreter that runs the test program given in script after loading the atf-sh(3) library.
atf-sh is not a real interpreter though: it is just a wrapper around the system-wide shell defined by ATF_SHELL. atf-sh executes the inter-
preter, loads the atf-sh(3) library and then runs the script. You must consider atf-sh to be a POSIX shell by default and thus should not
use any non-standard extensions.
The following options are available:
-s shell Specifies the shell to use instead of the value provided by ATF_SHELL.
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_LIBEXECDIR Overrides the builtin directory where atf-sh is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_PKGDATADIR Overrides the builtin directory where libatf-sh.subr is located. Should not be overridden other than for testing purposes.
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts. Scripts must not rely on this variable being set to select a
specific interpreter.
EXAMPLES
Scripts using atf-sh(3) should start with:
#! /usr/bin/env atf-sh
Alternatively, if you want to explicitly choose a shell interpreter, you cannot rely on env(1) to find atf-sh. Instead, you have to hardcode
the path to atf-sh in the script and then use the -s option afterwards as a single parameter:
#! /path/to/bin/atf-sh -s/bin/bash
ENVIRONMENT
ATF_SHELL Path to the system shell to be used in the generated scripts.
