Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Why does "ps -[u|U] username" not list processes when username is numeric? Post 303039928 by Corona688 on Thursday 17th of October 2019 04:25:32 PM

What's your operating system? That's important for how ps behaves.

It can't match ID and name on numbers because that's ambiguous. There could be several "correct" entries, which isn't supposed to be possible.

If you're assigning these numbers arbitrarily, I'd suggest getting them from UNIX instead of giving them to UNIX.

If you have to deal with this as is, you may need to look up the UIDs in situ.
Code:
UID=$(awk -F: '$1 == NAME { print $3 ; exit }' NAME="12345" /etc/passwd)

NAME
stdump - Dump portions of a file containing symbolic information SYNOPSIS
stdump [options] file OPTIONS
Prints dense numbers. Prints external symbols. Prints local symbols. Prints procedures. Prints file descriptors. Dumps auxiliary sym- bol information in hexadecimal. (Use in combination with -b or -c to have type information interpreted.) Prints line numbers. Prints rel- ative file descriptors. Prints optimization symbols. Specifies index number of file to be dumped. You can print the index numbers with the following command: stdump -f file. You can use -n with any other option to get that option's portion of the symbolic information for the specified file. Displays the version of the stdump command. If none of the options are specified, the dump includes all of the items associated with the various options. [Tru64 UNIX] The DEC C++ compiler encodes type information in function, template, variable, and virtual table names to enable type-safe linkages. This encoding is called name mangling. By default, stdump shows the demangled names only. The following options can be used to instruct the stdump command to print the mangled name or both the mangled and demangled names: [Tru64 UNIX] Prints only the mangled name. [Tru64 UNIX] Prints both the mangled names and the demangled names. DESCRIPTION
The stdump tool dumps symbolic information from an object file, an executable file, or any other file produced by the compiler that con- tains symbolic information. FILES
Executable file SEE ALSO
