A simple shell script to grab information from an online thesaurus. Had I used it, this tagline might be more colorful ;)

Look at methods for determining disk usage across multiple UNIX® systems and how to create a simple warning system to alert you of potential problems. Keeping an eye on your file systems and ensuring they don't fill up is a trivial, but ital process in the day-to-day management of your UNIX systems.

Here is a simple shell script that generates a list of process running on a GNU/Linux system containing the process' PID, name and path. The script is straight forward and one can easily modify it according to their needs.
