Bash Script to Check How Long the High CPU/Memory Consumption Processes Runs on Linux

In the past, we have written three different articles to identify this using Linux commands.

You can access them immediately by going to the relevant URLs below.

• How to Find High CPU Consumption Processes in Linux
• How to Find Out Top Memory Consuming Processes in Linux
• Five Ways to Check How Long a Process Has Been Running in Linux

Two scripts are included in this tutorial, which helps you to identify how long the high CPU/memory consumption processes are running on Linux.

The script will show you the process ID, the owner of the process, the name of the process and how long the processes are running.

This will help you identify which jobs are running overtime (which must be completed beforehand).

This can be achieved using the ps command.

What’s ps Command

ps stands for processes status, it display the information about the active/running processes on the system.

It provides a snapshot of the current processes along with detailed information like username, user id, cpu usage, memory usage, process start date and time command name etc.

1) Bash Script to Check How Long the High CPU Consumption Processes Runs on Linux

This script will help you to identify how long the high CPU consumption processes has been running on Linux.

# vi /opt/scripts/long-running-cpu-proc.sh

#!/bin/bash
ps -eo pid,user,ppid,%mem,%cpu,cmd --sort=-%cpu | head | tail -n +2 | awk '{print $1}' > /tmp/long-running-processes.txt
echo "--------------------------------------------------"
echo "UName     PID  CMD            Process_Running_Time"
echo "--------------------------------------------------"
for userid in `cat /tmp/long-running-processes.txt`
do
username=$(ps -u -p $userid | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}')
pruntime=$(ps -p $userid -o etime | tail -1)
ocmd=$(ps -p $userid | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}')
echo "$username $userid $ocmd $pruntime"
done | column -t
echo "--------------------------------------------------"

Set an executable Linux file permission to “long-running-cpu-proc.sh” file.

# chmod +x /opt/scripts/long-running-cpu-proc.sh

When you run this script, you will get an output like the one below.

# sh /opt/scripts/long-running-cpu-proc.sh

----------------------------------------------------
UName     PID  CMD       Process_Running_Time

2) Bash Script to Check How Long the High Memory Consumption Processes Runs on Linux

This script will help you to identify how long the top memory consumption processes has been running on Linux.

# sh /opt/scripts/long-running-memory-proc.sh

#!/bin/bash
ps -eo pid,user,ppid,%mem,%cpu,cmd --sort=-%mem | head | tail -n +2 | awk '{print $1}' > /tmp/long-running-processes-1.txt
echo "--------------------------------------------------"
echo "UName     PID  CMD          Process_Running_Time"
echo "--------------------------------------------------"
for userid in `cat /tmp/long-running-processes-1.txt`
do
username=$(ps -u -p $userid | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}')
pruntime=$(ps -p $userid -o etime | tail -1)
ocmd=$(ps -p $userid | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}')
echo "$username $userid $ocmd $pruntime"
done | column -t
echo "--------------------------------------------------"

Set an executable Linux file permission to “long-running-memory-proc.sh” file.

# chmod +x /opt/scripts/long-running-memory-proc.sh

When you run this script, you will get an output like the one below.

# sh /opt/scripts/long-running-memory-proc.sh

----------------------------------------------------
UName    PID   CMD       Process_Running_Time
