How do I see sleep processes in Linux?
Just grep -l sleeping /proc/[0-9]*/status and maybe pipe it via | xargs -n1 dirname | xargs -n1 basename or something like that. Looping and checking return value and echo will be very slow. Using { } instead of do done is discouraged – it’s a (strange) bash extension, just do done .
