Find the Process run by nohup command

linux process background ps nohup

ps auxwww|grep -i 'server' should return all process which has server in them. Otherwise, server may have already stopped.

You should be able to determine the PID (and store it in a file) as follows:

nohup server &print $! >> my_server.pid

linux process background ps nohup

If a nohup.out file was created, you may run in bash:

# lsof nohup.out

it will return the pid which created/is running the file

best regards!

linux process background ps nohup

There is no definitive way to catch the exact process with the help of ps command, but you can use the following:

ps -a | grep "server"

You will get a list of all the processes running with the name "server"

Or, you can use any other keywords as well to grep the ps output.
