Hello all, I am having a little issue with BEA webloigc server Version 8.1, previously, we we confugred we where able to Grep processes for BEA and we could get the processes listed now I am only able to see the start weblogic script process. the weblogic server is up and running and performing its functions but when we perform the command "ps -ef | grep -i bea "
we do not get anything back , but we know the process is running. any clues ? please excuse me if i have posted this is the wrong forum.
Running solaris 8
weblogic server 8.1
on a sun v480

Usually BEA product used to run as java threads/proc..

ps -ef | grep -i java

Is u r running multiple instances of weblogic server and want to know a particular instance's process id, the extended format of "ps" also might help as shown below:

# /usr/ucb/ps -auxww |grep java

or just

# ps -ef |grep java

will help u in showing all the java processes running on the server
