I will trigger seven dummy descendant processes using below code:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ "$#" -ne 1 ]]; then
set -- 7 #To set command line argument to 7 when arguments aren't provided
fi
if [[ "$1" -gt 2 ]]; then
"$0" "$(($1 - 1))" #Execute same script by passing a number(decrementing)
else
sleep 120
fi
Thus pstree -pc 101
(assuming 101 is pid of first process of above script) will display:
dummy(101)──dummy(102)──dummy(103)──dummy(104)──dummy(105)──dummy(106)──sleep(107)
How do I display the information of the dummy process in below format:
PID | PPID | Level |
---|---|---|
107 | 106 | 1 (indicates child) |
106 | 105 | 2 (indicates parent) |
105 | 104 | 3 (indicates grand parent) |
104 | 103 | 4 |
103 | 102 | 5 |
102 | 101 | 6 |
101 | 100 | 7 |
Frankly I do not know Bash scripting. I have just learned how to to display PID'S of a user processes using below command:
ps -u $USER -o user,pid,ppid,lstart,cmd
