Hi Jozef

I tried your command but it prints all processes not the grep processes.

Or simply

ps -fp PID1,PID2

Note: use the comma as a separator between the PID numbers, not spaces.

Hi John,

#ps -ef |egrep '(PID1|PID2)'

or

#ps -fp PID1,PID2

Hello John,

that's strange. I tried to grep for diag and bash processes and it works:

root@vl1:(/)#ps -ef | grep -e diag -e bash
root 2147 2128 0 22:39:49 console 0:00 bash
root 1712 1 0 22:39:06 ? 0:01 /usr/sbin/stm/uut/bin/sys/diagmond
root 2494 1712 0 22:49:36 ? 0:00 diaglogd
root 25575 25278 0 13:46:59 pts/0 0:00 grep -e diag -e bash
novakj 25242 25240 0 13:34:34 pts/0 0:00 -bash
root 25278 25262 0 13:34:40 pts/0 0:00 bash

Hi,

I tried ps -fp PID1,PID2 it works fine, but also i need to use by process name as process id could be changed. so could you provide me command to check process with 2 or 3 process names, not ID?
