Check process weblogic server

Using Oracle Solaris operating system for your server? Then, every time wanna check for the process running on your server, it return below output:
bash-3.2$ ps -aef | grep weblogic
ps: illegal option -- f
usage: ps [ -aceglnrSuUvwx ] [ -t term ] [ num ]
Okay, its weird. But wait, let we check the path for “ps“.
-bash-3.2$ which ps
/usr/ucb/ps
Oooo..the path suppose to be /usr/bin/ps and not /usr/ucb/ps
Now, try to modify “.profile” file and add /usr/bin in the PATH variable as per below
-bash-3.2$ vi .profile
...
...
...
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/ucb:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin:$ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin:$WLS_SERVER/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH; export PATH
...
...

Next, update the environment using the .profile file that we modified before:
bash-3.2$ . .profile
Check the path for “ps” again, and now it show the correct path to “ps” binary:
bash-3.2$ which ps
/usr/bin/ps
Finally, try to use ps to check process:
bash-3.2$ ps -aef | grep weblogic
