Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers top output for a specific process to a file Post 302346970 by mglenney on Monday 24th of August 2009 02:00:42 PM

I see a few things going on. Perhaps one of them is causing your problem. I mostly suspect your top command:

Code:
command="top -b"

This command will run until killed or until it reaches the number of iteration set by -n (see top man page). So, this may help:

Code:
command="top -b -n 1"

Also, some other stuff. I would rewrite some lines as:

Code:
echo "testFile: $testFile"
echo > $testFile --- This line doesn't do anything.  You overwrite it on the next line
...
for ((;;)); do --- don't know what this does.  Endless loop?
currentTime=`date +%T`
echo "currentTime: $currentTime"
echo "command    : $command"
echo "process1   : $process1"
... 

Just some suggestions. Hope something here helps

NAME
pescetti -- Pseudo-Duplimate Generator SYNOPSIS
pescetti DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the pescetti command. OPTIONS
Here are a list of the available options and what they do. You must specify exactly one from --demo, --generate or --load. --help Prints the help text --demo Demonstration mode. Generates one hand with permutations and the tutorial for how to use them. --generate=N Generate N random boards --load=boards.txt Load boards+analysis from boards.txt --load-dds=boards.dds Load boards from boards.dds in dds format --load-analysis=tricks.txt Load analysis from tricks.txt --permutations=permutations.txt Generate the permutations and save them to the given file --curtains=curtains.txt Save curtain cards to file curtains.txt --save=boards.txt Save the boards+analysis to boards.txt --save-dds=boards.dds Save the boards to boards.dds in dds format --save-analysis=tricks.txt Save the analysis to tricks.txt --format=html|txt|pdf Set the output mode to the given format --title=title Set the title for the output --output=hands.txt Print the hands to hands.txt, rather than to standard output --stats Generate statistics about the set of boards; included in the hands output --analyze Run the dds analyzer on the boards and print the resulting numberof tricks (warning SLOW) --criteria= A list of criteria to apply to each generated hand to generate specific hand types. The list should be space separated and each item may be suffixed with a colon and a (fractional) probability value which can be used to weight the criteria. E.g. --criteria="weaknt:0.8 strongnt:0.5" Valid criteria are: unbalanced weaknt strongnt twont strongtwo weaktwo three twoclubs 4441 singlesuit twosuits partscore game slam game-invite slam-invite jumpshift jumpfit splinter bacon weird --probability=factor Generate hands matching the criteria with only the given probability. Factor is in the range 0 to 1. On each attempt to generate a board it is rejected if it doesn't match the criteria with the given probability. A factor of about 0.8 gives roughly half matching boards AUTHOR
