You can avoid 'grep -v grep' by using grep '/[f]mxdbc_listen' instead. The [ ] don't change the meaning of the expression when put around one character, but prevent grep from matching itself.
Cheers Corona. I love how with Unix no matter how long and convoluted the command there is always a shorter, pithier way of expressing the same thing, that just depends on your knowledge level (or access to resources such as this forum).

Incidentally, some versions of ps (e.g. GNU) have a -C option that let you search by command, e.g.
Code:
ps -C fmxdbc_listener
Cheers Carlo. Works fine.
Tried -C and it is an illegal argument is this particular flavour of unix.
Hey guys, thanks for all your help. I just need to ask one more question.
The script works and detects whether or not fmxdbc_listener is running, ECHOs the results to the log, and if negative, fires up fmxdbc_listener. But it doesn't work when fired up by launchd (I take it this is the new 'cron').
I'm guessing it has to do with the account permissions that launchd fires it up with.
Code:
./fmxdbc_listener -u &
I believe the -u means start it with the current user, which is correct when I trigger it manually but I'm guessing not so when launchd fires it off.
i sometimes check if the process has a log file. if so, then check if it's being populated.
if log file is being populated, then you'll know the answer.
Team,

How do I get my exact tomcat process running and that is unique? via shell script? (4 Replies)

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
