orphan ksh in top output ?
 

Hi Friends - I am trying to write a script that would check for orphan ksh processes from top command and alert the team.

Here is the sample output of top with Linux flavor

more topCPU.log
%CPU %MEM VSZ RSS USER STIME PID COMMAND
0.0 0.0 10372 560 root Jun10 1 init [5]
0.0 0.0 0 0 root Jun10 2 [migration/0]
0.0 0.0 0 0 mega Jun10 3 ksh
0.0 0.0 0 0 appuser Jun10 4 -ksh
0.0 0.0 0 0 root Jun10 5 -ksh


I wrote a snippet that would basically outputs the entry

Example:
=> more topCPU.log | awk '{print $8}' | grep "^-ksh$"
-ksh
-ksh

How could I get entire line ? OR any better approach ?

Thanks

or
?

Hi UnSpawn -thanks for your reply

I dont want to find out through ps/pgrep commands, coz we have several hosts and end up running several instances of script

Just want to grep from log files which have entries of ksh processes

when I grep it, its getting all ksh processes instead of just ksh or -ksh

Desired output:
0.0 0.0 0 0 user Jun10 3 ksh
0.0 0.0 0 0 mega Jun10 7 ksh

Any help is appreciated

Thank you

Try grep -e ' -\?ksh$' topCPU.log.

well, no luck

What do you mean, no output? You copy/pasted it when executing?

yeah, there is no output

There's supposed to be a space between ' and -. You didn't copy it well.
Try this one too if it doesn't work as the shell might parse it differently.

Hello - I tried with and without space earlier, as mentioned it was not able to find the entries in the log file

Tried with double quotes too, no output :-(

Try these variations as well:
If nothing still works, please give us the output of

Thanks alot, it worked
All the 3 below commands were giving expected output
Goodday
