PS and AWK Linux Commands on Cygwin

PS and AWK Linux Commands on Cygwin

[Scott Geiger]

Hello,

We just started using Cygwin to assist us with running various scripts and commands in an Oracle E-Business Suite environment on a Windows 2008 R2 server.  We have a script that we run that does the following:

ps -ef | grep mwa | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

On Cygwin, however, I receive an error that says:

"'awk' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."

The other command that I often run to check if there are any processes running for our MWA server is this:

ps -ef | grep mwa

When I run this command using Cygwin, it returns nothing.   

When I run this command using MKSTookkit, I see something like this:   Which is a list of processes running that contain the letters "mwa"

I am not the person who installed Cygwin on our Windows server, so I cannot determine if it was installed correctly.

Can you please tell me if the above commands should work with Cygwin or perhaps a better suggestion to obtain similar information using a different command in Cygwin?

Thank you,
SG

So, a couple of things ...

Cygwin definitely supports gawk - I use it all the time.
My system has a link from awk to gawk, so awk will work.
I can't recall if I added that link or if it came with
the installation.  awk may be in a separate package
that you'll have to install from the Cygwin package
installer.

As for ps, it works, but it will show only Cygwin
related processes.  It may have other limitations
as well, because it might be impossible or very
difficult to support some POSIX features under
Windows.

I have a fresh installation of Cygwin and /usr/bin/awk is a link to /usr/bin/gawk - FYI

Cygwin ps allows for a -W command-line argument which tells it to include all windows processes.
There are other arguments like -l for "long" mode, -f for "full" mode, etc.

Thanks for the additional info!

On Windows, procps is useful, but of course it's Windows-specific ...

Thanks, this was helpful.  When I use -W I get one process that contains the uppercase value that I entered through the grep command but not the lowercase processes.

Is there a parameter to ignore case?

Use tasklist.

P.S.
And don't top-post. Please.

Are you asking if there is a parameter to grep to get it to ignore case?
Have you checked the man page for grep?

Or you can use 'grep --help' to find it.  Or use intuition and guess
what the option might be, it's quite obvious.
