how to check process by age..

[Yashodhan Deo]

Hi can u tell me how can one check the processes by their age. I mean I want the new process on the top of the list. Also can we automatically divert the output to a file for further reference

Hi


With unix95


1 echo memory usage per process
2 echo "----------------------------------------------"
3 UNIX95= ps -e -o stime,ruser,vsz,sz,pid,ppid,tty,args > /tmp/$PPID
4 head -n 1 /tmp/$PPID
5 tail -n +2 /tmp/$PPID|
6 sort -rn
7 /bin/rm /tmp/$PPID 2>/dev/null


Will do it

Check the following:

ps -eaf|sort -r -k 2,2

Redirect the output with > symbol such as

ps -eaf|sort -r -k 2,2 > filenm

You can use top command to view all the process status with execution time.

If you want to redirect then ps is very good to keep track.

stime - gives the starting time of process
time - will give amount of time running

ps -ef | grep -v "STIME" | sort -r -k 7,7

It will give the details / redirect to any other file
