    PSJ

Gnarly little "one liner" in awk and bash. Searches for running processes and displays the PID and command line for any matches, in JSON format.

Usage:
psj [process name or keyword] [--running] [--alias]


--running: Shows only running processes


--alias: Shows the original caller processes (By default, shows the actual process names, not the parents)


[process name or keyword]: A filter string, will show only matching processes


## psj.sh
#!/bin/bash

psj() { local filter ps_args="-A " add_c=true; while [[ $# -gt 0 ]]; do case "$1" in --running) ps_args+="r"; shift ;; --alias) add_c=false; shift ;; *) filter="$1"; shift ;; esac; done; $add_c && ps_args+="c"; ps_args+="o "; ps --no-headers $ps_args 'pid,cmd' | grep "$filter" | awk 'BEGIN {print "{"} {pids[NR] = $1; cmds[NR] = $2} END {for (i = 1; i <= NR; i++) { printf "   \"%s\": \"%s\"", pids[i], cmds[i]; if (i < NR) printf ","; print "" } print "}"}'; }
	#!/bin/bash

	psj() { local filter ps_args="-A " add_c=true; while [[ $# -gt 0 ]]; do case "$1" in --running) ps_args+="r"; shift ;; --alias) add_c=false; shift ;; *) filter="$1"; shift ;; esac; done; $add_c && ps_args+="c"; ps_args+="o "; ps --no-headers $ps_args 'pid,cmd' \| grep "$filter" \| awk 'BEGIN {print "{"} {pids[NR] = $1; cmds[NR] = $2} END {for (i = 1; i <= NR; i++) { printf " \"%s\": \"%s\"", pids[i], cmds[i]; if (i < NR) printf ","; print "" } print "}"}'; }
