How to Find Runtime of a Process in UNIX and Linux






So you checked your process is running in Linux operating system and it's
running find, by using
ps command. But now you want to know, from how long process is running, What
is start date of that process etc. Unfortunately PS
command in Linux
or any UNIX based operating system doesn't provide that information. But as
said, UNIX has commands for everything, there is a nice UNIX tip, which you can
use to check from how long a process is running. It’s been a long time, I have
posted any UNIX or Linux command tutorial, after sharing some UNIX productivity tips . So I
thought to share this nice little tip about finding runtime of a process in
UNIX based systems e.g. Linux and Solaris. In this UNIX command tutorial, we will
see step by step guide to find, since when a particular process is running in a
server.







Commands to find Runtime of a process in
UNIX





UNIX command to find runtime of a process in LinuxAs I said, there is no single command, which can tell us that from how
long a process is running. We need to combine multiple commands, and our
knowledge of UNIX based systems to find uptime of a process.





Step 1 : Find process id by using ps command
e.g.





$ ps -ef
| grep java


user 22031 22029   0   Jan 29 ?          24:53 java -Xms512M -Xmx512 Server





here 22031 is process id or PID. By the way if there are
more than one Java process running in your server, than you might want to use a
more specific grep command to find PID.
Anyway, once you found PID, you can look into
proc directory
for that process and check
creation date, that's
the time when your process was started. By looking that timestamp you can
easily find from how long your process is running in Linux. In order to check
timestamp of any process id proc directory, you can use following
ls UNIX
command with option
-ld as shown below :





$ ls -ld
/proc/20317


dr-x--x--x   5 user     group           832 Jan 22 13:09 /proc/22031





Here process with PID 22031 has been running from Jan 22, 13:09.





That's all on How to find uptime for a process in Java. Yes, it's
similar to what
uptime command return for a server. I
really like this UNIX tips, as it's a great tool to find from how long a
process is running in UNIX or Linux
