Hi All,

I am using below script to get a list of all running services on my Centos box, corresponding package name and the install location.

for i in $(service --status-all | grep -E running\|stopped\|"not running" | awk '{print $1}');
do
echo "Service $i" >> $HOME/MyLog/running_$HOSTNAME.log;
rpm -qf /etc/init.d/$i >> $HOME/MyLog/running_$HOSTNAME.log;
rpm -ql $(rpm -qf /etc/init.d/$i) >> HOME/MyLog/running_$HOSTNAME.log;
done

This code snippet has a few problems. Though it lists all services, packages and install location in output log, I am not sure if the installed location given by rpm -ql is quite correct. It shows a lots of instal locations or files. I would need just the install location of the base package.
Also, if a service name if not found in /etc/init.d, the script throws a console output as well, which I dont want. Is there a way in a script where I can avoid the console output and errors? Anything which I can include in script for this?

Please revert if anyone has any clue on this.

Thanks.

Regards.

What do you mean "not quite correct"? The only way RPM packages can be installed in a different location is using %reloc. First of all not all packages accept that and secondly for an admin to do that would be exceptional...


Well then filter it out.


Not sure what you mean with this. Maybe give example output?
