But if we run check of this process (mysqld in container) through host (not in container), its return ok:

> [@](#):

Previous version:

```auto
# Check if server is running with jemalloc - if not warn that restart is needed
if [$ENABLE = 1]; then
printf "Checking if Percona Server is running with jemalloc enabled...\n"
JEMALLOC_STATUS=$(grep -c jemalloc /proc/${PID_NUM}/environ)
if [$JEMALLOC_STATUS = 0]; then
printf "ERROR: Percona Server is not running with jemalloc, please restart mysql service to enable it and then run this script...\n\n";
exit 1
else
printf "INFO: Percona Server is running with jemalloc enabled.\n\n";
fi
fi

```

Current version of ps\_tokudb\_admin (with this error?):

```auto
# Check if server is running with jemalloc - if not warn that restart is needed
if [$ENABLE = 1]; then
printf "Checking if Percona Server is running with jemalloc enabled...\n"
grep -qc jemalloc /proc/${PID_NUM}/environ || ldd $(which mysqld) | grep -qc jemalloc
JEMALLOC_STATUS=$?
if [$JEMALLOC_STATUS = 1]; then
printf "ERROR: Percona Server is not running with jemalloc, please restart mysql service to enable it and then run this script...\n\n";
exit 1
else
printf "INFO: Percona Server is running with jemalloc enabled.\n\n";
fi
fi

```
