I have below command to run in from a file.
Aim to run this command and assign that to a variable.

ps -ef | grep keepalive | grep -v keepaliveStub | grep -i ficctprd | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }'

How can i do that?

Thanks,
Sateesh

or
var1=$(ps -ef | grep keepalive | grep -v keepaliveStub | grep -i ficctprd | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }')
