Help on ps
Hello,

Can some one help me to find the directory from which the specified process is running.

I need to find the directory of the process (run.csh).

For ex: If we have 5 directories

/usr/userA/run.csh
/usr/userB/run.csh

etc...

Any help is very much appreciated.

Maybe you want something like this:

Code:
ps -ef | grep "run.csh"

Hello,

No that run.csh was just an example. The processes are very long. I know you can use something like ucb's ps. ps wwax, which will give full process name. But I need to get the directory of the process.

Any help is very much appreciated.

I really dont have any idea about what you mean by directory of a process, maybe someone else could help you better regarding this.

Hello,

Got the command. Just in case if anyone is interested

'pwdx pid', where pid is the process id of your process. This gives the directory of the executing process

pwdx is one of the proc tools to display the working directory of the process
