Incidentally, if you have the process id already, all you have to do is: ps <pid> That is, ps 109 The advantage of this is that you also get the headers telling you what each column means; for example when one does: ps u 1 And gets: USER PID %CPU %MEM SIZE RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.2 768 76 ? S Jul 26 0:03 init [2] One has at least some chance of figuring out what all that information means. The "ps ax | grep <foo>" idiom is so common that it's sometimes easy to forget that ps does take non-option arguments. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
