sap_facts.sh - ps print only executable with path
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The output of "ps -ef" not also includes the command but also the
process age and process arguments. Both can have digits in its string
which may interfere when grepping for an instance number like 00 or 01.

To fix this, let ps print only the executable with its path.

Example: ps with default output - 2 lines match where only 1st line should match
/usr/sap/A22/D01/exe/sapstartsrv pf=/usr/sap/A22/SYS/profile/A22_D01_sapa22u01 -D -u a22adm
/usr/sap/A22/ASCS02/exe/sapstartsrv pf=/usr/sap/A22/SYS/profile/A22_ASCS02_sapa22u01 -D -u a22adm

Example: ps with custom layout, only one line matches as expected
/usr/sap/A22/D01/exe/sapstartsrv
