I have created the following bash script to find out if process is running or not
ps -ef | grep process_name
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "Process is running."
else
echo "Process is not running."
fi
However, the script is always returning "Process is running."
Please suggest the correct way to find out if the process is running or not.
PR=$(ps -ef | grep process_name | wc -l)
if [ "$PR" -ge 2 ]; then
echo "Process is running."
else
echo "Process is not running."
fi
first line, always has the output including the grep process_name
its self. so running process comes at second line.
