Quick Answer: How Do I Check If a Unix Script Is Running?
Contents

How can I tell where a script is running?

Open Task Manager and go to Details tab. If a VBScript or JScript is running, the process wscript.exe or cscript.exe would appear in the list. Right-click on the column header and enable “Command Line”. This should tell you which script file is being executed.

How do I know if a shell script ran successfully?

Now, every command run in bash shell returns a value that’s stored in the bash variable “$?”. To get the value, run this command. $ echo $? If a command succeeded successfully, the return value will be 0.
