Greetings all, I need to do the following
unix> top -b -U norad PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME CPU COMMAND 12733 norad 1 60 2 3936K 3392K run 0:05 7.21% dbganlz 12747 norad 4 52 2 13M 10M sleep 0:05 4.20% dbgora 12721 norad 1 53 2 3160K 2584K sleep 0:00 0.12% dbgsam 12726 norad 1 52 2 3184K 2416K sleep 0:00 0.02% dbgalert 12740 norad 1 53 2 2992K 2128K sleep 0:00 0.02% dbgrepos 12594 norad 1 59 0 3200K 2544K sleep 0:00 0.01% dbgsam 12606 norad 1 59 0 4696K 4160K sleep 0:11 0.00% dbganlz 12620 norad 4 59 0 42M 13M sleep 0:06 0.00% dbgora 12599 norad 1 58 0 3216K 2400K sleep 0:00 0.00% dbgalert 12613 norad 1 59 0 3016K 2112K sleep 0:00 0.00% dbgrepos I have to check the last character of SIZE column. If the size is in M(megabyte) then check if the value is > 40 then send an e-mail with the COMMAND name and the size. Something like "dbgora has a size of 42M" I was trying the following script. But I am not sure how to get the last character of SIZE column from the above output and compare with 'M' and then compare with the value. top -b -U norad | grep norad | awk '{ print $6, $11 }' | \ while read SIZE COMMAND do echo "Command : $COMMAND Size : $SIZE" done Any suggestions will be appreciated.
