Re: [Sheflug] Little script help

[Alastair Donlon <nospam [at] netsoc.ucd.ie>]

I'm assuming you still have the option to 'ps' to allow it to produce
a full commandline, rather than simply the command name. Basically,
you can pipe it through 'awk' with a 'print $6' on the command line,
and then do something like 's/\/tmp\///' to strip off the '/tmp/' bit.
A really dirty command line would look like:

ps -A e | grep 'cat /tmp/' | awk 'print $6' | sed -e 's/\/tmp\///'

You might want to modify the 'grep' command to do a more selective
type of search.

A.D.
