UNIX: Count processes containing text
By: Mark Jacobsen
Ever want to know if something is running on a Unix box, but only know the name or even part of the name of the file or path? You can find it using the following command...
EXAMPLE:
ps -ef|grep "script.pl"|grep -v "grep"|wc -l
MEANING:
ps -ef|grep "script.pl"
Lists all processes that contain "script.pl"
grep -v "grep"
removes the processes that contain grep (i.e. the orig grep command will show up as a process match)
wc -l
counts the number of "lines"/processes
