Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Help with simple script to find PID of process Post 302726809 by thirdcoaster on Monday 5th of November 2012 08:45:04 AM

Code:
#set variables
CMD="jps -l | grep cq | wc -l"
CMDPATH1="/usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0_24/bin/"
CMDPATH2="/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/"

if [ -d $CMDPATH1 ]
then
        $CMDPATH1/$CMD
elif [-d $CMDPATH2 ]
then
        $CMDPATH2/$CMD
fi

if [ 'jps -l | grep cq | wc -l' -eq 0 ]
then
        echo "Process is not running"
else
        echo "Process is running"
fi

exit 0

This is what I've got so far. I do get an "invalid argument count" when I run it:

Code:
root@server>/var/opt/OV/bin/instrumentation> ./cq_mon.sh cq_mon
invalid argument count
usage: jps [-help]
       jps [-q] [-mlvV] [<hostid>]

Definitions:
    <hostid>:      <hostname>[:<port>]
./cq_mon.sh[57]: jps -l | grep cq | wc -l: bad number
Process is running

Can anyone tell me what's happening here?

jazipconfig

JAZIPCONFIG(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    JAZIPCONFIG(8)

NAME

       jazipconfig - jazip(1) configuration tool.

SYNOPSIS

       jazipconfig [--non-interactive]

DESCRIPTION

       The jazipconfig script is a tool to easily build the /etc/jazip.conf file for the configuration of jazip(1)

OPTIONS

       The  optional  --non-interactive  command  line	parameter  instructs jazipconfig to do what it can to build a /etc/jazip.conf file without
       prompting the user.  On Debian systems, the command is invoked this way by the jazip package post-installation script.

       In this non-interactive mode, the script looks through /proc/scsi/scsi for detected Zip or Jaz devices.	 If  it  find  any,  it  looks	up
       /etc/fstab to see if it can find already specified mount points for them.  If (and only if) it finds mount points, it writes the device and
       mount point to /etc/jazip.conf

INTERACTIVE USE

       If no command line options are provided, jazipconfig runs interactively.  In this case, it also looks through /proc/scsi/scsi for  detected
       Zip or Jaz devices.  If it find any, it looks up /etc/fstab to see if it can find already specified mount points for them.  Then it creates
       a user menu which you can use to create the /etc/jazip.conf file.

NOTES

       The first entry listed in /etc/jazip.conf is the default device used when jazip is called without an argument.
