run the program after 15min

i just want to run the $ps command after each 15min.
to watch the process status of the system..
is there any command to run such type of program in in some sort of interval.

With output to where?

You could (if you set aside a terminal for it) use watch for
this ...

watch -n 900 "ps -ef"

Cheers,

I tend to stick things like this in a loop, and sleep for the required time.

use cron

*/15 * * * * ps > /tmp/file_ps.out

use cron.....

It records the output in the file, and you can at any time...

Use ps options ...
Use ps with absolute path...

Is it your requirement ??? or some thing else ???

shell script

It is possible to create a shell script to be called by 'cron' in regular intervals creating output in your local web root if you have a web server running. Then you can open the output page in a web browser. When used on a public web server, you can monitor the system from remote locations.

The most simple version of a script for this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

OUTPUT="/var/www/html/ps.html";

echo "<html><head></head><body><pre>" > $OUTPUT

ps >> $OUTPUT

echo "</pre></body></html>" >> $OUTPUT

Hope this helps,
