Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello all,
I would be happy if any one could help me with a shell script that would determine all the processes running on a Unix server and post a mail if any of the process is not running or aborted.

Thanks in advance

Hello all,

First, read the rules - no double posting or bumping post to get an answer.

Next, these forums are meant to help those that help themselves. Meaning you start writing the script and when you get to a problem, post it and we assist in solving your problem. Just look at how you normally would solve this problem from the command line and put it into a file which you then set to executable.

hello,
i have posted the mail to make my problem clear. i know how to check it through command line using ps command. but i dont know how i get the status of the process and after that when i redirect the output to a file how do i filter it for the aborted/ stoped processes and send a mail. i have tried writing script but i did not work that why i have ask for help. thanks for you suggestion...i would be thankful if any onne could help me with this script the giving advices.

I don't see anything attached.

Try a copy/paste into the window where you type this message.
Use code with square brackets

Code:

#this is my script
exit

hi guys,
i'm back with a small problem.
i have now written a script that will grep for a process and will notify me if not running.
[#!/bin/ksh
pid=""
pid='ps -ef | grep "<process string>" | awk ' {print $2}''
echo $pid
if [ "$pid"="" ]
then
echo "process not running"
rsh <mail server> mailx -s "<etc etc process not running>" <mail.id>
else
echo service is ok
pid=""
fi
]
now i'm have a problem in the mailing section.
can any one tell me how i can redirect the output to a file and send it via mail if the process i'm greping is not runnning. i tried the above syntax and failed.

And one more help how can i find the parent process that aare running so that i can make a list of those important process.

kindly some one look into this and reply at earliest.

Pradeep Kulkarni

Instead of
rsh <mail server> mailx -s "<etc etc process not running>" <mail.id>
try
mailx -s "<etc etc process not running>" yourID@yourdomain.xxx < /dev/null

Change yourID and yourdomain.xxx to your userid and domain name.
