so i have a very long script which i have to run. when i run this script, i want to monitor the the openssl commands it runs.
the way ive attempted to do this is:
Code:
watch -t -n 1 "(date '+TIME:%H:%M:%S' ; ps aux | egrep openssl | egrep -v grep)" 2>&1 | tee -a logfile
the above command is suppose to run the watch command continuously looking for the word "openssl" in the process table.
when it finds any process that has the word, its suppose to copy the entire line from the process table containing the "openssl" command and then log it to a file called logfile.
however, this isnt working as expected. when i view the logfile all i see is a bunch of empty lines and blank spaces and these weird characters:
Rather than relying on 'watch' (the screen control behaviour of which is resulting in the odd characters you report), you could do something like this, maybe:
Code:
while true; do sleep 1; (date '+TIME:%H:%M:%S' ; ps aux | egrep openssl | egrep -v grep) 2>&1 | tee -a logfile; done
For added security I'd recommend running it inside a screen session as well, just in case.
In my own testing this seems to work, and would still mean that once per second you would have your timestamp, and the details of any openssl process that may happen to exist.
Hi
I want to write a script, help me to monitor command output.
This script like Linux "watch" command.
Below is my script:

watch is a common linux command that executes a program periodically, showing output fullscreen.
I couldn't find anything for hpux, so I created the following shell which the user is testing:
cat /usr/bin/watch
#!/bin/sh
while ; do
clear
echo "Command: $*"
date
echo ""

Hi,
Please help me out!
In the man pages they dont talk about any options that can be used to terminate a running 'watch' command. Do you know a way of terminating the command using an option?
Thanks (1 Reply)
Hi all,
I am trying to create a file that shows the CPU usage, constantly updating (similar to TOP).
So far i have a file (called test) containing:
echo "The current CPU usage is:" `ps -e -o pcpu|awk 'NR > 0 { s +=$1 }; END {print s"%"}'`
and then I ran the command:
watch -d 0.5 -t... (3 Replies)
Hi there,
I was wondering if there was a way in UNIX that I could set up a running script that monitors a certain folder (and all the folders and files contained within it) so that if any file changes then it will be the change logged within a log file. I dont know if this is possible in Unix... (6 Replies)
Hi Experts,,
Can you tell me "Is there any command in solaris that gives the output repeatedly for every x seconds" when used with other commands like ls,du,df,etc..Like prstat updates its output for every 5 seconds..
If i want to view how much of disk usage is going on a filesystem for every... (2 Replies)
On Linux I could use the `watch` command to loop a command X times. Is there a similar command on AIX? If not, is there a way to write a loop on the command line to do this?
Linux: watch -d -n 60 'db2 list applications show detail | grep Connect | wc -l'
AIX: ??? (2 Replies)
