[Solved] Problem listing processes
hi!
i wrote this script(ubuntu os):
Code:
clear

echo "number of running processes"

ps -ef | wc -l

but i can't get the number of my currently running processes...
is there a way to see HOW MANY processes are running to my system?

sorry i forgot exit 0 at the end of the script

Strictly speaking it would be:
Code:
ps -ef | grep -v "UID" | grep -v "defunct" | wc -l

Or, the wc -l part can be embedded into grep:

Code:
ps -ef | grep -v "UID" | grep -vc "defunct"
