tusc for time

[Paula J Frazer-Campbell]

Hi to all Fron Sunny London.

I need script help please.

I am monitoring possible process loops and wish to put the captured pid into a 5 second tusc run - outputting the results to a file.

Basically

Get iffy pid

run tusc (for 5 seconds) > /piffypid.txt.

Thanks in advance

Paula

Hi Paula,

Something like:-

Get iffy pid

tusc $iffy_pid >somefile &
sleep 5

kill ${!}

Thanks,

I do not wish to kill the iffy pid but you gave me an idea to pick up the pid of tusc and kill that after 5 seconds.

Thanks

Paula

Paula,

${!} will be the PID of the tusc process.
