Getting 'ps -ef' original UserID in Linux
Customer's "ps -ef" on their AIX box gave the User's actual user ID, whereas "ps -ef" under Linux always gives the 'Appx' UserID. The customer uses the ps -ef for Appx user management. Is there a way to get the process user's original ID, so they can do this in Linux?
Place the following shell script in /usr/local/bin or /bin. Then pipe the output from appxps into "grep appx" to get a list of all Appx processes:
> # which appxps /bin/appxps > # cat /bin/appxps #!/bin/sh ps -axwo ruser,pid,ppid,c,stime,tty,time,args > # appxps|grep appx root 1573 1 0 Jan11 ? 00:00:00 /appx/tools/appxd -s=8066 root 1576 1 0 Jan11 ? 00:00:00 /appx/tools/appxd -s=8090 appx 1589 1 0 Jan11 ? 00:00:00 /appx/appx -l=/appx/license.log nobody 1660 1573 0 Jan11 ? 00:00:00 /appx/data/../appx -f=4 -fms_server al 11565 1576 0 Jan12 ? 00:00:01 /appx/data/../appx -f=4 -d= brenda 22224 1576 0 Jan13 ? 00:00:01 /appx/data/../appx -f=4 -d= al 24736 1576 0 Jan13 ? 00:00:10 /appx/data/../appx -f=4 -d= al 4786 1576 0 10:22 ? 00:00:04 /appx/data/../appx -f=4 -d= pat 6181 6180 0 12:42 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/bash /home/pat/.appx_profile pat 6183 6181 0 12:42 pts/1 00:00:01 /appx/appx -d=CTS root 6574 6522 0 13:17 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /bin/appxps root 6575 6522 0 13:17 pts/0 00:00:00 grep appx > #
