this is a shell script responsible on pinging the amount of proccesses currently running with the help of given arguments and flags
the script can be activated with the following flags:
| flag | explanation |
|---|---|
| -c | limit amount of pings, e.g. -c 3. Default is infinite |
| -t | define alternative timeout in seconds, e.g. -t 5. Default is 1 sec |
| -u | define user to check process for |
the script also needs to be given the name of the executable you want to pinpoint (for example - firefox, gedit etc.)
the script works best while using the following syntax:
./psping -c <amount> -t <timeout> -u <user-name> <process-name>hope you like it
