Question Grep filtering issue
Hi,

I am on

Code:
uname -a
HP-UX mymachine B.11.31 U ia64 3223107173 unlimited-user license

Code:
ps -exx| grep java | grep -i "GrafiteEventsInterfaces*"
19955 ?        55:22 /opt/app/app1/jdk150_07/bin/IA64N/java -server -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:PermSize=256m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:NewSize=512m -XX:MaxNewSize=512m -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -Xnoclassgc -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -verbose:gc -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+CMSParallelRemarkEnabled -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -da -Dplatform.home=/opt/app/app1/bea/weblogic92 -Dwls.home=/opt/app/app1/bea/weblogic92/server -Dwli.home=/opt/app/app1/bea/weblogic92/integration -Dweblogic.management.discover=false -Dweblogic.management.server=t1grn1a1:7001 -Dwlw.iterativeDev=false -Dwlw.testConsole=false -Dwlw.logErrorsToConsole= -Dweblogic.ext.dirs=/appl/bea/patch_weblogic922/profiles/default/sysext_manifest_classpath -Dxng.log.server=GrafiteEventsInterfaces_hht011h2A_UAT -javaagent:/usr/local/opt/introscope/R8230/wily/Agent.jar -Dintroscope.agent.agentName=GrafiteEventsI

while the below does not yield any results

Code:
==> ps -exx| grep java | grep -i "*Interfaces*"

Why so ?

This is the wrong syntax for grep. Try:
Code:
grep -i interfaces

Otherwise, what are you trying to achieve?

I am just trying to grep with a generic term and not the whole server name as i remember not.

Anyways, your suggestion works.
