You can use the `ps` command to produce the count of the running processes and then use the `wc` command to count the number of lines in the output. Here's an example Bash script that would accomplish this:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# Use the ps command to list all running processes (excluding grep and the ps command itself)
# and count the number of lines in the output using wc
count=$(ps ax | grep -v grep | grep -v "ps ax" | wc -l)
# Print the message with the count
echo "The total number of running processes is $count"
```
Save this script to a file (e.g. `running_processes.sh`) and make it executable using the `chmod` command:
```
chmod +x running_processes.sh
```
Then run the script:
```
./running_processes.sh
```
This should output a message like:
```
The total number of running processes is 123
```
Write a Bash script that would print the number of the running processes using the following message:
The total number of running processes is ###
Where ### is the result of the execution of a command that produces the count of the running processes.
