I'm trying to come up with command using AWK which will list down all the processes along with its number of instances running:
I'm using following command
ps axo pid,command | awk -F/ '{print $1, $4}'
and I;m getting following result
1727 sshd
1807 httpd
1834 abrtd
1842 abrt-dump-oops -d abrt -rwx
1848 httpd
1849 httpd
1879 gpm -m
I want to above command so that it can display total number of process count along with the process, something as follows
1 1727 sshd
3 1807 httpd
1 1834 abrtd
1 1842 abrt-dump-oops -d abrt -rwx
1 1879 gpm -m
In fact I want to kill a process running more than 5 instances does not matter what process it is.
This is not awk but it should produce the output you want.
ps axo pid,command | sort -k2 | uniq -c -f 1
try this .....
ps -eo command | grep -v COMMAND | awk '{count[$0]++}END{for(j in count) print count[j] ,j}' | sort -rn | head

Is there a way to kill a process by specifying the process name instead of PID for AIX?
E.g. for the below process I want to kill it by specifying sapstartsrv instead of 10682424
hmsadm 10682424 1 0 Apr 30 - 0:54 /usr/sap/HMS/ASCS01/exe/sapstartsrv pf=/usr/sap/HMS/SYS/profile/START_ASCS01_H\
Thanks.
You can use command like this:
kill -9 $(ps -ef|grep sapstartsrv|awk '{print $2}')
of course first check if command ps -ef|grep sapstartsrv|awk '{print $2}' return only processes you want to kill
Try this. The brackets around the first letter of process you are trying to kill helps. Obviously change this to a valid server.
while true; do date; ping -c4 server; sleep 500; done &
ps -aef | grep -i [p]ing | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
If that doesn't work sometimes you have to kill the parent process.
ps -aef | grep -i [p]ing | awk '{print $2 " " $3}' | xargs kill -9
From outside container:
$ kubectl exec -it ui-gateway-0 -- bash -c "ps -ef | grep entities_api_svc | head -1"
root 14 9 0 10:34 ? 00:00:02 /svc/bin/entities_api_svc
$ kubectl exec -it ui-gateway-0 -- bash -c "ps -ef | grep entities_api_svc | head -1 | awk '{print $2}'"
root 14 9 0 10:34 ? 00:00:02 /svc/bin/entities_api_svc
From inside container:
[root#ui-gateway-0 /]# ps -ef | grep entities_api_svc | head -1 | awk '{print $2}'
14
I find it easier to use single quotes on the sh/bash command argument so it is closer to what you would type in the shell:
kubectl exec -it ui-gateway-0 -- \
bash -c 'ps -ef | grep entities_api_svc | head -1 | awk "{print \$2}"'
This means the awk uses double quotes, which requires the shell variable marker $ to be escaped.
In the original command, the shell running kubectl was replacing $2 with a zero length string so awk would see only print, which prints the whole line
Multiple levels of nesting
Nested shell escaping gets very obscure very quickly and hard to debug:
$ printf '%q\n' 'echo "single nested $var" | awk "print $2"'
echo\ \"single\ nested\ \$var\"\ \|\ awk\ \"print\ \$2\"
$ printf '%q\n' "$(printf '%q\n' 'echo "double nested $var" | awk "print $2"')"
echo\\\ \\\"double\\\ nested\\\ \\\$var\\\"\\\ \\\|\\\ awk\\\ \\\"print\\\ \\\$2\\\"
If you add a file grep-entities.sh in container
#!/bin/bash
set -uex -o pipefail
ps -ef | grep entities_api_svc | head -1 | awk '{print $2}'
You then don't need to worry about escaping
pid=$(sshpass -p "password" ssh vm#10.10.0.1 kubectl exec ui-gateway-0 -- /grep-entities.sh)
Also pgrep does the scripts job for you
kubectl exec ui-gateway-0 -- pgrep entities_api_svc
The Xcode console has a 'Debugger output' filter. I understand this is for use with lldb, and that you can get messages to print to this output by using breakpoints. My question is not how to do that.
My question is: what is the underlying mechanism Xcode itself uses to write lldb messages to Debugger Output (not Target Output)? Is there a variable similar to stdout or stderr that writes here? Is it possible, from Xcode target code (Swift/Obj-C/C), to write to this output?
Looks like Xcode uses a tty to communicate with lldb, and you can interface with the Debugger Output using that:
echo "Wheeeeeeee" > $(lsof -p $(ps -A | grep -m1 MacOS/Xcode | awk '{print $1}') | grep -m2 dev/ttys | tail -1 | awk '{print $9}')
Breaking the above down:
$ ps -A | grep -m1 MacOS/Xcode | awk '{print $1}'
21280
This gives the process ID of Xcode (21280). Using this, we can find the files it has open:
$ lsof -p 21280 | grep /dev/ttys
Xcode 21280 tres 47u CHR 16,3 0t0 3569 /dev/ttys003
Xcode 21280 tres 58u CHR 16,5 0t0 3575 /dev/ttys005
The one with the highest number (/dev/ttys005 in this case) is the one we want, so let's extract it. tail -1 will give us the last line of output, and awk '{print $9}' will give us the 9th item on the line, which is what we want!
$ lsof -p 21280 | grep /dev/ttys | tail -1 | awk '{print $9}'
/dev/ttys005
Now we can use this to write whatever we want:
I am trying to create an Ansible playbook to pull out MTU size for exact NIC (unfortunately i have 5k VMs and this exact NIC does not have the same name on all VMs). I need to parse IP from file to variable and grep by that.
My command i will use in playbook:
/sbin/ifconfig -a | grep -C 1 $IP | grep MTU | awk '{print $5}' | cut -c 5-10
And output should be looking like this:
9000
This one gnu awk command should do:
ifconfig -a | awk -v ip="$IP" -v RS= -F'MTU:' '$0~ip {split($2,a," ");print a[1]}'
9216
Another variations
ifconfig -a | awk -v ip="$IP" 'f {split($6,a,":");print a[2];exit} $0~ip{f=1}'
ifconfig -a | awk -v ip="$IP" 'f {print substr($6,5,99);exit} $0~ip{f=1}'
9216
Hi i have the following process which i cant kill:
I am running cygwin in windows xp 32 bit.
I have tried issuing the following commands:
/bin/kill -f 4760
/bin/kill -9 5000
kill -9 5000
kill 5000
When i write /bin/kill -f 4760 i get the message, 'kill: couldn't open pid 4760'.
When i write /bin/kill -9 5000 i get the message, 'kill: 5000: No such process'.
I simply don't understand why this process cant be killed.
Since it has a WINID shouldnt it be killed by /bin/kill -f 4760?
hope someone can help thx :)
The process is locked from Windows most likely. The error you are getting "couldnt open PID XXX" points to this.
To confirm try killing it with windows taskkill
taskkill /PID 4760
Strangely, the following works in Cygwin:
echo PID1 PID2 PID3 | xargs kill -f
For example:
ps -W | grep WindowsPooPoo | awk '{print $1}' | while read line; do echo $line | xargs kill -f; done;
Different Windows programs will handle the signals that kill sends differently; they've never been designed to deal with them in the same way that Linux/Cygwin programs are.
The only reliable method for killing a Windows program is to use a Windows specific tool, such as Task Manager or Process Explorer.
That said, if you've not already, you may have luck with running your Cygwin terminal in administrator mode (right click on your shortcut and select "Run as administrator").
The method presented by #Donal Tobin is correct:
kill -f <pid>
However, I don't need to log in as administrator.
Create a file called killall.sh with this line
ps -W | grep $1 | awk '{print $1}' | while read line; do echo $line | xargs kill -f; done;
Then give it execute permissions.
chmod 777 killall.sh
In your .bash_profile add this line
alias killall="~/killall.sh" (point it to the correct location)
Then you just have to type "killall [name]"
killall.sh - Kill by process name.
#/bin/bash
ps -W | grep "$1" | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -f;
Usage:
$ killall <process name>
For me this command does not work on Windows 10 in Cygwin:
$ kill -f 15916
bash: kill: (15916) - No such process
Instead of it, you can use next commands:
$ powershell kill -f 15916
$ netstat -ano | grep ':8080' | awk '{print $5}' | xargs powershell kill -f
$ netstat -ano | grep ':8080' | awk '{print $5}' | while read pid; do powershell kill -f $pid; done;
$ netstat -ano | grep ':8080' | awk '{sub(/\r/,"",$5) ; print $5}' | while read pid; do taskkill /F /PID $pid; done;
SUCCESS: The process with PID 15916 has been terminated.
