Example—Displaying Information About Processes

The following example shows how to use process tool commands to display more information about an lpsched process. First, the /usr/proc/bin path is defined to avoid typing long commands. Next, the identification number for the lpsched process is obtained. Finally, output from three process tool commands is shown. 


# PATH=$PATH:/usr/proc/bin
# export PATH 1
# pgrep lpsched 2
213
# pwdx 213 3
213:    /
# ptree 213 4
213   /usr/lib/lpsched
# pfiles 213 5
213:    /usr/lib/lpsched
  Current rlimit: 4096 file descriptors

      O_RDWR

      O_RDWR
   3: S_IFCHR mode:0666 dev:136,0 ino:35882 uid:0 gid:3 rdev:21,0

      O_WRONLY

  1. Adds the /usr/proc/bin directory to the PATH variable

  2. Obtains the process identification number for lpsched

  3. Displays the current working directory for lpsched

  4. Displays the process tree that containslpsched

  5. Displays fstat and fcntl information
