ps -afe | grep httpd | grep -v grep | wc -l -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Steve Buehler Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 2:02 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: shell script to count httpd processes I am running RHL 7.3. I am trying to create a shell script with /bin/sh that will count how many httpd processes are running at the time. This is how it would look as a perl script: ---start of script--- #!/usr/bin/perl $count = 0; @hits = (`ps -afe | grep httpd | grep -v grep`); foreach $entry (@hits) { $count++; } print "$count\n"; ---end of script--- I am trying to do this in an sh script. Partly for learning partly because I want to do some other things to, but can only know how to do them in a shell script. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
