I could use a little help with ps and grep. When running a command like: # ps -ewf | grep sendmail root 2730 1 0 Jul14 ? 00:00:01 sendmail: accepting connections smmsp 2739 1 0 Jul14 ? 00:00:00 sendmail: Queue [EMAIL PROTECTED]:00:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue root 6500 6362 0 07:51 pts/3 00:00:00 grep sendmail
Is there any way to run this command and get these results, but exclude the actual grep itself, which is the last line? A little background, I have a java based application that I've used a custom start and stop script for. Basically the stop script does: stop() { for pid in `ps -efww | grep myapp | grep -v grep | cut -b 10-15`;do #echo $pid kill -9 $pid done RETVAL=$? return $RETVAL } This has worked for years, but for some reason it has stopped working. I think it may be because the process is killing itself before it kills the app? I assume the correct way to do this is store the pid in a file that you reference, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. Any help is appreciated.
