Question

Write a bash script called minips.sh. This script will look at each numbered directory in the /proc directory and for each process print the running program's name name, its process id, and its current state. You can find the name and state of a process in /proc//status. You may notice that there are some errors involving processes that disappear too fast to look at their status files. That is fine, just pipe the errors to /dev/null. Use functions to break up the different parts of the script. You will likely need to use file processing tools you learned in earlier labs to extract the needed information.

Explanation / Answer

minips.sh

//to print the running program`s name

ps -p pid -o format

p--> specifies PID

0--> format enables user defined format

Find out a process name using its PID number with the help of user defined format i.e comm= which means command name, same as the process name.

// Getting Process ID

Program starts a shell (process sh), and '$'--> waiting for inputs.

Enter a command "ls" it shows the printout of the names and pid's of the processes.

// Its Current State
