Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers In Bash shell - the ps -ef shows only the /bin/bash but the script name is not displayed Post 303037099 by MadeInGermany on Tuesday 23rd of July 2019 08:13:05 AM

In ps -f or ps -o args it is
always ksh scriptname or bash scriptname.
In ps -o fname it is
  • bash when started as bash scriptname
  • scriptname when started as ./scriptname


Unfortunately some OS have a very small field for the fname. So it may appear truncated e.g. scriptname can become scriptna.

Some OS have ps -o comm as a wider field and use it like the fname, some other OS stuff the pathname into it.

Note: that the default scope is: only processes with a terminal associated,
-e means all processes,
-u user means all processes owned by user.

  NAME
      mcxalter - various network transformations

  SYNOPSIS
      mcxalter [-imx <fname> (specify matrix input)] [-abc <fname> (specify label input)] [-tab <fname> (use tab file)] [-o <fname> (output)] [-tf
      spec (apply tf-spec to input matrix)]

  DESCRIPTION
      This utility supplies various transformations of networks.

  OPTIONS
      -abc <fname> (label input)
	The file name for input that is in label format.

      -imx <fname> (input matrix)
	The file name for input that is in mcl native matrix format.

      -tab <fname> (use tab file)
	This option causes the output to be printed with the labels found in the tab file.  With -abc this option will, additionally, construct  a
	graph  only on the labels found in the tab file.  If this option is used in conjunction with -imx the tab domain and the matrix domain are
	required to be identical.

      -tf <tf-spec> (transform input matrix values)
	Transform the input matrix values according to the syntax described in mcxio(5).

      -o fname (output file)
	Output file.
