Rather than relying on 'watch' (the screen control behaviour of which is resulting in the odd characters you report), you could do something like this, maybe:
Code:
while true; do sleep 1; (date '+TIME:%H:%M:%S' ; ps aux | egrep openssl | egrep -v grep) 2>&1 | tee -a logfile; done
For added security I'd recommend running it inside a screen session as well, just in case.
In my own testing this seems to work, and would still mean that once per second you would have your timestamp, and the details of any openssl process that may happen to exist.
On Linux I could use the `watch` command to loop a command X times. Is there a similar command on AIX? If not, is there a way to write a loop on the command line to do this?
Linux: watch -d -n 60 'db2 list applications show detail | grep Connect | wc -l'
AIX: ??? (2 Replies)
Hi Experts,,
Can you tell me "Is there any command in solaris that gives the output repeatedly for every x seconds" when used with other commands like ls,du,df,etc..Like prstat updates its output for every 5 seconds..

Hi there,
I was wondering if there was a way in UNIX that I could set up a running script that monitors a certain folder (and all the folders and files contained within it) so that if any file changes then it will be the change logged within a log file. I dont know if this is possible in Unix... (6 Replies)
Hi all,
I am trying to create a file that shows the CPU usage, constantly updating (similar to TOP).
So far i have a file (called test) containing:
echo "The current CPU usage is:" `ps -e -o pcpu|awk 'NR > 0 { s +=$1 }; END {print s"%"}'`
and then I ran the command:
watch -d 0.5 -t... (3 Replies)
Hi,
Please help me out!
In the man pages they dont talk about any options that can be used to terminate a running 'watch' command. Do you know a way of terminating the command using an option?
Thanks (1 Reply)
watch is a common linux command that executes a program periodically, showing output fullscreen.
I couldn't find anything for hpux, so I created the following shell which the user is testing:
cat /usr/bin/watch
#!/bin/sh
while ; do
clear
echo "Command: $*"
date
echo ""

xzgrep
XZGREP(1) XZ Utils XZGREP(1)NAME
xzgrep - search compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
xzgrep [grep_options] [-e] pattern file...
xzegrep ...
xzfgrep ...
lzgrep ...
lzegrep ...
lzfgrep ...
DESCRIPTION
xzgrep invokes grep(1) on files which may be either uncompressed or compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options
specified are passed directly to grep(1).
If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep(1). When reading from standard input,
gzip(1) and bzip2(1) compressed files are not supported.
If xzgrep is invoked as xzegrep or xzfgrep then egrep(1) or fgrep(1) is used instead of grep(1). The same applies to names lzgrep, lze-
grep, and lzfgrep, which are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
ENVIRONMENT
GREP If the GREP environment variable is set, xzgrep uses it instead of grep(1), egrep(1), or fgrep(1).
