I want to create an alias for an long command. But I'm not able to escape it correct, I guess it's a problem with the pipes.
My original command
ps aux | grep gimp | awk '{ print $2 '\011' $11 }' | grep -v 'grep'
My attempt for an alias
alias psa="ps aux | grep $1 | awk '{ print \$2 \"\011\" \$11 }' | grep -v 'grep'"
But I get an error that grep can not open file foo (when I do psa foo)
When I remove the last part | grep -v 'grep' then awkthrows the same error.
I prefer an alias before an shell script.
You need to use a function if you want to to insert arguments:
psa() {
ps aux | grep "$1" | awk '{print $2 "\t" $11 }' | grep -v grep
}
You can avoid all the escaping by using a function for this:
myps() {
ps aux | grep gimp | awk '{ print $2 "\011" $11 }' | grep -v 'grep'
}

> root# ps -ef | grep [j]ava | awk '{print $2,$9}'
> 45134 -Dapex=APEC
> 45135 -Dapex=JAAA
> 45136 -Dapex=APEC
I need to put the first APEC of first as First PID, third line of APEC and Second PID and last one as Third PID.
I've tried awk but no expected result.
> First_PID =ps -ef | grep [j]ava | awk '{print $2,$9}'|awk '{if ($0 == "[^0-9]" || $1 == "APEC:") {print $0; exit;}}'
Expected result should look like this.
> First_PID=45134
> Second_PID=45136
> Third_PID=45135
With your shown samples and attempts please try following awk code. Written and tested in GNU awk.
ps -ef | grep [j]ava |
awk '
{
val=$2 OFS $9
match(val,/([0-9]+) -Dapex=APEC ([0-9]+) -Dapex=JAAA\s([0-9]+)/,arr)
print "First_PID="arr[1],"Second_PID=",arr[3],"Third_PID=",arr[2]
}
'
How about this:
$ input=("1 APEC" "2 JAAA" "3 APEC")
$ printf '%s\n' "${input[#]}" | grep APEC | sed -n '2p'
3 APEC
Explanation:
input=(...) - input data in an array, for testing
printf '%s\n' "${input[#]}" - print input array, one element per line
grep APEC - keep lines containing APEC only
sed -n - run sed without automatic print
sed -n '2p' - print only the second line
If you just want the APECs first...
ps -ef |
awk '/java[ ].* -Dapex=APEC/{print $2" "$9; next; }
/java[ ]/{non[NR]=$2" "$9}
END{ for (rec in non) print non[rec] }'
If possible, use an array instead of those ordinally named vars.
mapfile -t pids < <( ps -ef | awk '/java[ ].* -Dapex=APEC/{print $2; next; }
/java[ ]/{non[NR]=$2} END{ for (rec in non) print non[rec] }' )
After read from everyone idea,I end up with the very simple solution.
FIRST_PID=$(ps -ef | grep APEC | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'| sed -n '1p')
SECOND_PID=$(ps -ef | grep APEC | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'| sed -n '2p')
JAWS_PID=$(ps -ef | grep JAAA | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')
Below, the command works great as I'd like. However, inside .bashrc it does not run due to termination of strings. Any advice is happy :)
ps aux | awk '{print $4 "%\t" int($6/1024) " MB\t" $11}' | sort -n
I am simply trying to add something like: alias memusage='command' or function memusage { command }
To keep both memusage alias and original commands, you can put this in .bashrc :
alias memusage="$(cat << 'EOF'
ps aux | awk '{print $4 "%\t" int($6/1024) " MB\t" $11}' | sort -n
EOF
)"
Here's how to define it as a function:
memusage() {
ps aux | awk '{print $4 "%\t" int($6/1024) " MB\t" $11}' | sort -n
}
If you define it on one line, you need a semicolon before the close brace:
memusage() { ps aux | awk '{print $4 "%\t" int($6/1024) " MB\t" $11}' | sort -n; }
Note that the function keyword is a nonstandard bashism; the standard function definition just has () after the name.
For alias, replace the inner 's with '"'"'s:
$ alias memusage='ps aux | awk '"'"'{print $4 "%\t" int($6/1024) " MB\t" $11}'"'"' | sort -n'
Testing it:
$ memusage | grep MEM
%MEM% 0 MB COMMAND
I'm looking to create a one liner that, given a port number (2550) uses the returned value from netstat would allow me to then run the resulting output against ps -ef to return the path of the process in question. I have:
ps -ef | grep $(netstat -tonp | grep 2550 | awk '{split($7,a,"/"); print a[1]}')
and whilst I know
netstat -tonp | grep 2550 | awk '{split($7,a,"/"); print a[1]}'
returns the expected resulted, the subsequent grep tells me that there is no such file or directory (but, if I do the ps -ef | grep **) it works just fine... I'm obviously missing something... well, obvious, but I can't see what?
try something like (it takes the first PID/port corresponding, not all):
Port=2550;ps -f --pid $( netstat -tonp | awk -F '[ \t/]+' -v Port=$Port '$0 ~ "([0-9]+[.:]){4}" Port { PID= $7;exit}; END { print PID+0 }' ) | sed 's/^\([^ \t]*[ \t]*\)\{7\}//'
the last sed is assuming a ps reply like this (space are important):
usertest 4408 4397 0 09:43 pts/6 00:00:00 ssh -p 22 -X -l usertest 198.198.131.136
for every PID and with no ending sed:
Port=2550; ps -ef | awk -v PIDs="$( netstat -tonp | awk -F '[ \t/]+' -v Port=${Port} '$0 ~ (":" Port) { print $7}' )" 'BEGIN{ split( PIDs, aTemp, /\n/); for( PID in aTemp) aPID[ aTemp[PID] ] }; $2 in aPID { sub( /^([^ \t]*[ \t]*){7}/, ""); print}'
This will give you the pids:
<sudo> netstat -tulpen | awk '$4 ~ /:2550$/{sub("/.*","",$NF);print $NF}'
You can use xargs to pass the pid to ps:
netstat -tulpen | awk '$4 ~ /:2550$/{sub("/.*","",$NF);print $NF}' | xargs -P 1 ps -o pid,cmd -p
I am trying to store multiple string in for loop but it giving me unwanted answer.
My code is :
#!/bin/bash
declare -a arr=("ps -ef | grep icsmpgum | grep $USER | grep -v grep | awk '{print $9,$8}' | awk '{print $1}'")
for i in "${arr[#]}"
do
echo "$i"
done
The output of
ps -ef | grep icsmpgum | grep $USER | grep -v grep | awk '{print $9,$8}' | awk '{print $1}'
is :
icsmpgum
ABC
DEF
I want to refer to these 3 string values in for loop but after applying for loop as mention above it giving me output as :
Output :
ps -ef | grep icsmpgum | grep tsaprm1 | grep -v grep | awk '{print ,}' | awk '{print }'
How should I store these string values in variables ?
You need to use a command substitution, rather than quoting the command:
arr=( $(ps -ef | grep icsmpgum | grep $USER | grep -v grep | awk '{print $9,$8}' | awk '{print $1}') )
I suspect that this will work but there's a lot of further tidying up to be done; all the filtering that you want to do is possible in one call to awk:
arr=( $(ps -ef | awk -v user="$USER" '!/awk/ && /icsmpgum/ && $0 ~ user { print $9 }') )
As mentioned in the comments, there are potential risks to building an array like this (e.g. glob characters such as * would be expanded and you would end up with extra values in the array). A safer option would be to use a process substitution:
read -ra arr < <(ps -ef | awk -v user="$USER" '!/awk/ && /icsmpgum/ && $0 ~ user { print $9 }')
I have a file with very simple syntax:
cat /tmp/test
ARCH=""prtconf -b | awk '/^name:/ {print $2}'
I tried to grep it:
cat /tmp/test | grep "prtconf -b | awk '/^name:/ {print $2"
ARCH=""prtconf -b | awk '/^name:/ {print $2}'
Let's make grep string a little longer, add } to the end:
cat /tmp/test | grep "prtconf -b | awk '/^name:/ {print $2"}
Nothing found
Why when I add } to the end of the line grep stop working?
OS is Solaris 10U11
$2 refers to command-line parameter so here it will substitute blank character in a patter. So you'l need to escape $ by slash like \$
cat /tmp/test | grep "prtconf -b | awk '/^name:/ {print \$2}"
Without adding } in your patter it was working because it was matching actual pattern as prtconf -b | awk '/^name:/ {print for your input. But if you add } in your patter then it will try to match prtconf -b | awk '/^name:/ {print } (which isn't there in your file so it won't show output.)
