Full Discussion: Execute a C program from Shell
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Execute a C program from Shell Post 302482400 by anurag.singh on Tuesday 21st of December 2010 11:55:44 AM

Code:
 
ps -ef | grep process | grep -v grep

Will print details of process like
Code:
 
<UID>  <PID>  <PPID>  <C>  <STIME>  <TTY>   <TIME>  <COMMAND>

Code:
 
ps -ef | grep process | grep -v grep | cut -d" " -f2,2

will give 2nd field.
This will work for processes running in foreground.
But it looks like for background processes, there is some space at start of process detail line, so we need to get 3rd field using cut command.(Corrected in earlier post)

If you are getting nothing as output, Please post the output of
Code:
 
ps -ef | grep process | grep -v grep

zegrep

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME

     zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files

SYNOPSIS

     zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]

     zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]

     zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).

     The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1).  If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
     argument.

     zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).

EXIT STATUS

     In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.

SEE ALSO

     egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
