Check if bash script (run by cron job) is running in Openshift

Question

I try ps aux and ps and pgrep myprocess and pidof myprocess but all say my script is not running (while my script is actually running). I check these command with ssh.

Do you have any idea?

Answer 1

If you use ssh to have to watch the pid you are actually sending

So run pgrep like this, ssh returns the exit status from the command you run:

ssh myserver 'pgrep -u username scriptname' 
[ $? -eq 0 ] && echo 'Running' || echo "Not running"

username is the name of the user that started the process ex: root, daniyal, santa, or maybe jim scriptname the actual name of the script file ex: myscript.sh, fixit.sh, or maybe foo.sh
