how to count processes ?

Randy Hagedorn — Wed, 11 Jan 2006 08:54:59 GMT

Hi,

I would like to be able to count the number of oracle processes that are running on our HP-UX system at any given time.

Does anyone have any ideas how to do this?

Thanks,
Randy

I'd use "wc -l" rather than wc.

Hi Randy ,

You can try with this , to count the oracle processes,

# ps -ef | grep ora | sed -n '$='

Cheers,
Raj.

Hello Randy,,

Use ps -ef, and grep for the string you want to count., and pipe the result into wc -l

The most generic for oracle being
ps -ef | grep ora | wc -l

if you want to count specific database processess, substitute the name you are looking for in place of "ora"

You can eliminate the grep by letting ps find your processes:

ps - -u oracle

This will report all processes that are being run by the user oracle.

I tried each suggestion and they all worked well.

Thanks again.
