Ошибка garbage option

i need to check whether a process is running or not on server. But challenge is , the keyword I am using is not the userid , it’s part of the o/p or ps command.

When i am running as ps -ef | grep -v $$ | grep xenon , I am getting as

error: garbage option

Usage: ps [options]

Try ‘ps —help ‘ or ‘ps —help
‘ for additional help text.

For more details see ps(1). xenon is not running, please check
error: garbage option

On server , some reason I see no o/p for pgrep , which will resolve my challenge. He is the o/p from server.

$ps -ef | grep xenon

I have 2 suse-11 machine both has same kernel version.

Linux version 2.6.32.59-0.7-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version
4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973] (SUSE Linux) ) #1 SMP 2012-07-13 15:50:56 +0200

but in one machine below command works

ps -u test-o ‘%U %p %P %c’

but in other gives error like below

The other day I wanted to create a simple bash script that would receive the name of a process and print out its pid. I wanted to run ps and then use awk to filter out the correct process and print out its pid. So I created the following bash script (called getPIDOf):

#! /bin/bash

command=”ps -o pid,command -C $1″
for (( i=1; i<=$#; i+=1 )); do
curval=${!i}
command=”$command | grep ”$curval””
done
command=”$command | awk ‘!/awk/ && !/getPIDOf/ {print $1}’”

echo $command
$command

I was quite pleased with myself that I had even added in the option to specify multiple identifiers for the process. But when I ran the script I got the following output:

yuval@obt:$ ./getPIDOf nc
ps -o pid,command -C nc | grep “nc” | awk ‘!/awk/ && !/getPIDOf/ {print $1}’
ERROR: Garbage option.

-M,Z  security data     c  true command name  -c scheduling class
-w,w  wide output       n  numeric WCHAN,UID  -H process hierarchy

I thought that I must have something wrong with the escaping. But when I ran the command that was printed out, it worked fine:

yuval@obt:$ ps -o pid,command -C nc | grep “nc” | awk ‘!/awk/ && !/getPIDOf/ {print $1}’
892

I even tried the following simplified script:

#! /bin/bash

command=”ps -o pid,command -C $1″
command2=”awk ‘!/awk/ && !/getPIDOf/ {print $1}’”

echo “$command | $command2”
$command | $command2

And got the following output:

yuval@obt:$ ./getPIDOf nc
ps -o pid,command -C nc | awk ‘!/awk/ && !/getPIDOf/ {print $1}’
awk: 1: unexpected character ”’

By this time I was quite puzzled. My simple getPIDOf script had become full of strange behaviors. So I decided to take the quick route out and use Perl instead of awk.

Here is my final version of the getPIDOf script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

die “Usage: $0 <identifier1> [identifier2] …n” unless (@ARGV);

my $command = “/bin/ps -o pid,command -C ”$ARGV[0]””;
my $output = `$command`;
foreach my $line (split(/n/, $output))
{
if ($line =~ /^s*(d+)s+(.+?)$/)
{
my $pid = $1;
my $command = $2;
my $found_mismatch = 0;
foreach my $filter (@ARGV)
{
if ($command !~ /$filter/)
{
$found_mismatch = 1;
last;
}
}

if ($found_mismatch){next;
}

print “$pidn”;
}
}

And the output, as desired, is:

yuval@obt:$ ./getPIDOf nc
892

Hi,

On win8 when I write ‘ ps aux | grep «top» ‘ to the console it says «ERROR: Garbage option», I am writing pipe character by using Ascii code 179 but I don’t think this is the problem. Everything works fine in the console besides ofthis command.

Windows 8 doesn’t come with bash installed which is what the course you are taking is using. So unless you installed bash you have powershell installed which has some similar syntax to bash.

Hi,

The problem was that I used Ascii 179 ( │) instead of 124 ( | ). The two characters looked the same in the Ascii table. Now it works fine. Anyway, I keep in mind your comment, it might be useful later. Thank you.

Answer

Shell parameter expansion happens after the high-level parsing of pipes breaks the line into structured commands, so your function body runs as though you’d written

ps ax '|' grep -v grep '|'

– that is, with the pipes as literal arguments to ps. That’s why you’re getting the error from ps (not from grep!) complaining it doesn’t understand the | argument.

You could fix that a couple of ways:

  1. Just write the command into the function instead of using the pg variable. This seems like the best version to me, but your actual script may be more complicated.

  2. If there’s a real need for something like that, use a function to contain the pipeline instead:

    pg_cmd_1() {
    ps ax | grep -v grep | $1
}
pg=pg_cmd_1

    and carry on as-is. That would let you define additional functions and change the pg variable dynamically to use them if necessary.

In addition, as currently written your script was trying to run ps ax | grep -v grep | xenon, which I think still isn’t what you want (missing a grep?).
