Description

On a compute node:

user 16220 5084 0 Apr10 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /grid/0/gs/chukwa/chuwka-0.1.1/bin/exec-data-loader.sh
--config /grid/0/gs/conf/chukwa-current netstat
user 16221 5086 0 Apr10 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /grid/0/gs/chukwa/chuwka-0.1.1/bin/exec-data-loader.sh
--config /grid/0/gs/conf/chukwa-current top
user 16222 5082 0 Apr10 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /grid/0/gs/chukwa/chuwka-0.1.1/bin/exec-data-loader.sh
--config /grid/0/gs/conf/chukwa-current df
user 16223 5083 0 Apr10 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /grid/0/gs/chukwa/chuwka-0.1.1/bin/exec-data-loader.sh
--config /grid/0/gs/conf/chukwa-current iostat
user 16224 5081 0 Apr10 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /grid/0/gs/chukwa/chuwka-0.1.1/bin/agent.sh --config
/grid/0/gs/conf/chukwa-current
user 16229 5085 0 Apr10 ? 00:00:00 /bin/bash /grid/0/gs/chukwa/chuwka-0.1.1/bin/exec-data-loader.sh
--config /grid/0/gs/conf/chukwa-current sar

All of them wait on the java pid.

This can be improved to use exec and having shell script exit.
