ps -elf AND grep for changes

Hoping theres something already out there like this.

I have a list of proccesses who's "ps -elf" (field 10) values I need to continuously monitor and if the values of field 10 start to signiciantly increase (double, triple) then do something. The field 10 is the "memory size" field.

(these are constant process names)

Code:

process1
process2
process3

Code:

foreach proccx ( process1 process2 process3 )
  initvar1,2,3 = ps -elf |grep $proccx |awk '{print $10}'
end

So now I would have 3 initial vars, (initvar1, initvar2, and initvar3)

Now enter some kind of a monitoring loop "for each" of the processes.

Code:

foreach proccx ( process1 process2 process3 )
  set curvar1,2,3 = ps -elf |grep process1 |awk {print $10}'
  if $curvar1 > $initvar1 * 2 , do something.
end

sleep 5
end

cshell or bash on solaris v10. The real problem I have found is variable "passing"

editing ELF file

Hello, This is not exactly relevant to Linux kernel but I'm gonna ask any way. Is there any way I can modify a 64-bit ELF object file to make it look like 32-bit ELF object file and link it (using `ld`) with 32-bit ELF file? I tried libelf but was unsuccessful. I had this pretty link...

Running elf files

I have a few questions about elf files and how they are executed. When gcc compiles a elf file it creates an executable. Is this executable then run directly by the hardware or does the kernel get involved, interpret the elf file and place the asm code directly in memory. Cheers

A help to create an ELF file

Hi!!! How do I create a file .ELF? What code should I use, could help me with a simple code or example? I know programming to Windows by important languages but this seems to be more sistematical, and I really don't know how to.

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
