Pipe lsof to grep to awk ps -ef to grep

Question

I'm trying to get some info on a certain PID. I'm probably doing this in a manner that is way too difficult, but I'm trying to run this:

lsof | grep grepstuff | awk '{ps -ef | grep $2;}'

and I'm not getting anything in response.

If I remove the awk part, I can definitely see that I am seeing the connections.

Seems you've figured out what you're looking for, but look into pgrep. — theterribletrivium, Nov 05 '14 at 01:31

Figured it out:

lsof | awk '/grepstuff/ {ps $2;}'
