More PID and GREP Question 1

[jmanj]

The following ksh script display all active ScanFileClient jobs
in the system. want to add more functionality to this script by adding a line number to all displayed jobs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

ps -ef|grep -n ScanFileClient|grep -v grep|tr -s ' '|cut -d ' ' -f 3,11,12|xargs -n1 -i echo {} Active


This help me monitor how many a particular jobs are running.

You can try something like this:
ps -ef | awk '/S[c]anFileClient/{
printf "%3d) %s\t%s\t%s Active\n",++i,$3,$11,$12
}'

Hope This Help, PH.

if you get a look to grep options there's specifically one which prints number of line in which a pattern has been found ... ooops ... it's the "-n" flag.
so your command could be changed in:
ps -ef|grep -v grep|grep -n "ScanFileClient" ....blah blah blah
