grep number and sent out e-mail
HTML Code:
ps -ef |grep /usr/sbin/qdaemon 
    root 5034194  385266   0   Oct 26      -  1:57 /usr/sbin/qdaemon 
    root 7639132 2523220   0 15:25:58 pts/10  0:00 grep /usr/sbin/qdaemon 
ps -ef |grep /usr/sbin/qdaemon  |wc
       2      18     145
I need to send out e-mail if the count of the lines is larger than 2. Basically, I want to see if more than one qdaemon is running or not.

Please advise.

To get started...
The following tells the number of lines
Code:
ps -ef |grep /usr/sbin/qdaemon |wc -l

verify this
then you can
Code:
cnt=`ps -ef |grep /usr/sbin/qdaemon |wc -l`
echo $cnt

to put the result into a variable

if [ $cnt > 2 ] ; then echo "large"; fi

That is a start.
If you get that far, then you can start experimenting with how to email. That is a separate issue depending on your setup.

PHP Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

cnt=`ps -ef |grep /usr/sbin/qdaemon |wc -l`

if [ $cnt -lt 1 ] ; then
    
  mail -s "$SYSNAME: More than 1 qdaemon running" doe@abc.com

fi 
I thought it would be easy as this, but I am not getting any output.

I am on AIX 5.3.

Please advise.

It is odd that this script is hanging on the execution and doing nothing..

When I check it manually, $cnt returns fine though.

PHP Code:
TOC # cnt=`ps -ef |grep /usr/sbin/qdaemon |wc -l`
TOC # echo $cnt
2 
Please advise.

Daniel,

Try this:
Code:
 
 
#!/usr/bin/ksh
 
cnt=`ps -ef |grep /usr/sbin/qdaemon |wc -l`
 
if [ $cnt -gt 1 ] ; then

echo "$SYSNAME: More than 1 qdaemon running" > outputfile
mailx -s "<Subject>" doe@abc.com < outputfile
fi
