Getting the (parent) process executing the command in Linux shell

Viewed 3345

Please advice , how to verify the program that execute the process ?

For example

the following commands ( ps -ef ) will view the process sendmail in case this process is running

  ps –ef | grep sendmail
  root     9558 9544 019:05?      00:00:00/usr/sbin/sendmail-FCronDaemon-i-odi-oem-oi-t

what I want to find is the script that execute the binary /usr/sbin/sendmail

so my question – which flags I need to add to the syntax "ps –ef" in order to get from ps –ef the full details , include which program running the process

is it possible ?

  • Example and remark

If /etc/rc3.d/sendmail run the binary /usr/sbin/sendmail

Then I expect to see the /etc/rc3.d/sendmail PATH from the command ps –ef …….
