I want to launch the following script in bash
php mysript.php
and the “ps -A | grep php” command returns something if the script is running.
Is there any way to customize this “php” command with another name? I want to write
myphp myscript.php
and “ps -A | grep php” should return nothing, but “ps -A | grep myphp” should return something if the script is running.
I tried setting an alias for php command but still “ps” command returns “php” and not “myphp”
I also tried modifying the $PATH variable with a symbolic link from myphp to php in /usr/bin, but still returns “php”
Thanks

Answer
Just make a symlink to php binary:
ln -s /usr/bin/php /usr/bin/myphp
Now ps -A | grep myphp
shows the running process.
