I am trying to get the PID of the process INSIDE adb shell. So, I am doing adb shell which gets me to the android shell. Now, if I were to get the PID using a regular shell I would use
adb shell ps | grep android.process.acore | sed 's/\s\s*/ /g' | cut -d ' ' -f 2
OR
adb shell ps | grep android.process.acore | awk '{ print $2 }'
I get the PID (a numeric number - 2nd field of the ps | grep android.process.acore
) output.
However, if I run the above commands inside android shell(after doing adb shell
), I get /system/bin/sh: sed: not found
and /system/bin/sh: awk: not found
errors respectively. Which means, these commands are not available inside adb shell. However, grep works.
The output of the ps | grep android.process.acore
inside adb shell
is:
XXX_x21 11826 441 502296 39028 ffffffff 4010ff6c S android.process.acore
I am looking for the number 11826.
How can I extract it inside adb shell
?
Also, please help if there is a direct way to get the PID inside the adb shell.
