#   Count selected patterns from the process list (ps -ef)
#   This program is not currently intended to be a fully developed program. It
#   is a small utility or shortcut to the functionality it has.
#
#   Input: Nothing
#       For now edit this file instead.
#
#   Output:
#       1. File with running processes (Easily disabled)
#       2. File with counted patterns from the process list.
#
#   Requirements: pattern_count.sh
#   pattern_count.sh is used to count patterns from the process list. 
#       wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/srund/patterncount/master/pattern_count.sh
#
#   Configuration: Edit patterns and output files under the section
#   'Configuration'.
#      PROCESSLIST  : Output file for ps -ef
#      PATTERNCOUNT : Output file for pattern_count.sh
#      PATTERNS     : Comma separated list of patterns to forward to
#                     pattern_count.sh
