Exploring the /proc filesystem: an article by me in Linux Pro Magazine
- By Vasudev Ram - Online Python training / SQL training / Linux training
Hi, readers,
Somewhat recently, I wrote this article which was published in Linux Pro Magazine:
Exploring the /proc filesystem with Python and shell commands
As the title suggests, it is about getting information from the Linux /proc file system, which is a pseudo-file system that contains different kinds of information about running processes. The article shows some ways of getting a few kinds of information of interest about one or more specified processes from /proc, using both Python programs and Linux shell commands or scripts. It also shows a bit of shell quoting magic.
(The article has a few small errors that crept in, late in the publishing process, but any programmer with a bit of Python knowledge will be able to spot them and still understand the article.)
Check it out.
Enjoy.

Learning Linux? Hit the ground running with my vi quickstart tutorial. I wrote it at the request of two Windows system administrator friends who were given additional charge of some Unix systems. They later told me that it helped them to quickly start using vi to edit text files on Unix. Of course, vi/vim is one of the most ubiquitous text editors around, and works on most other common operating systems and on some uncommon ones too, so the knowledge of how to use it will carry over to those systems too.
