To check if my servers have any extra process that shouldn’t be running I did a quick script

for i in `seq 1 10`; do ssh my-machine$i.tomtom.com -t "pgrep -f celery -c"; done

Let’s break it down

• for i in `seq 1 10` is generating a forloop for us from 1 to 10
• ssh my-machine$i.tomtom.com -t will ssh into each machine from 1 to 10, the -t means it will create a terminal to execute the next command
• pgrep -f celery -c will count all the processes that have the word celery in it and output the number.
