Need help to make a little script

[R.O.]

Hi all,

I need help to make an script to do this:
- Take the number of processes from top
- Append the date to the right of that number of processes.

The output will be, in example:

125 081004-23:30
135 081004-23:35
166 081004-23:30
etc...

I know the way of get both number of processes and date, but i do not know how to put in pairs, every "number of processes" with the minute the measure was taken.
Could anybody help me?

Regards,

R.O.

Hi,


echo "`ps -ef | wc -l` `date`" >> /tmp/data.txt

Hi,
Could explain your question again?

You r talking about the processes that r displayed in the TOP.
Is it that you want to capture the no. of processes shown by top and then show the date/time of that particular instance.

What Slawomir Gora posted was exactly what I needed.

Thank You and regards,

Hi,

you can use the following

echo "`ps -ef|wc -l` `date +%d%m%y`-`date +%H:%M`" >> /tmp/

This creates your desired output and is better to use here than top
